Texas band Daiistar is back in full psychedelic force. On new track “Star Starter,” the Austin act wastes little time in getting down to potent, psychoactive business. The reverb-drenched production makes for a vision quest-type listen, allowing the listener to sit back and bask in the production magic of Alex Maas, frontman of Austin Neo-Psych legends, The Black Angels.
