Song review: Austin Noise Pop act Daiistar announced new album, released new song

July 14, 2023 Case Cockrell 1967 Views DAIISTAR, Fuzz Club, new music, noise pop, song review, The Black Angels

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.
