STARDEATH AND WHITE DWARFS SIGN WITH WARNER BROS. RECORDS - NEW SINGLE, ALBUM AND TOUR!

Oklahoma City psych/prog/experimental pop quartet STARDEATH AND WHITE DWARFS have signed to Warner Bros. Records. After spending the last few years traversing the galaxy as the road crew for fellow Oklahomans The Flaming Lips, these four young men have gained a collective lifetime worth of knowledge and experience while inadvertently inhaling enough helium and confetti to power a free-floating circus of their own.

As a result of this kind of incubated gestation, a strange yet melodically intoxicating band has emerged. We’d like you to meet STARDEATH AND WHITE DWARFS, and they’d really like to meet you. STARDEATH AND WHITE DWARFS have toured with Deerhoof, British Sea Power, Band of Horses, and, of course, The Lips.

They’ve independently released a six-song EP, "That's Cool," in 2005, followed by a 7” single in the UK, “Toast & Marmalade For Tea” / “Chemical,” on Half Machine Records in 2008. Both feature cover art by Wayne Coyne. SDWD are now sprinkling the final magic dust on their first full-length album, THE BIRTH, recorded with local Oklahoma studio whiz Trent Bell. It’s scheduled to collide with earth in 12” vinyl form, with download card for redemption of the full album, on May 19th. The glistening satellite CD and all digital retail forms impact the Solar System on June 2nd.

Fresh news for collectors: National Record Store Day is April 18th (one of the most important holidays on the calendar), and to celebrate, STARDEATH AND WHITE DWARFS have joined forces with their employers The Flaming Lips to record a version of the Madonna classic, “Borderline,” backed by The Black Keys’ take on Captain Beefheart’s “Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles.” Both tracks are taken from the forthcoming WBR 50th Anniversary compilation COVERED: A REVOLUTION IN SOUND, out March 10th. Wayne Coyne has directed a pretty great performance-based video for “Borderline,” and will become available exclusively through Amazon.com beginning Mar 10.

Now armed with a brand-new, freshly minted Warner Bros. Records 7” single on yellow vinyl, “I Can’t Get Away” / “The Birth,” SDWD are ready to hit the road with the singular commitment and clear understanding of what it means to engage an audience in their live experience. Once you’ve seen them, you won’t forget them. “I Can’t Get Away” / “The Birth” tracks will also be available digitally via iTunes on March 17th, and through all other participating digital retailers on March 24th.
