Anyone into this band from Riverside, CA? I have been into them for years and was even into their band before this (before each brother took off and went into two different directions), Dance House Children. They were good too, but far different (they played Techno).

Anyway - I like the style of music that Starflyer 59 plays. They weave together Shoegaze, Dream Pop and Indie Rock (usually to lesser or farther degrees depending on the album). It's a very unique sound - and although Starflyer 59 is considered to be a Christian band, they have a pretty large secular following as well. They are top of their class for this genre.

Any other fans? Favorite albums? Moments? Let's discuss Starflyer 59!

I'm a fan of the heavier, guitar based stuff (the "color" albums and associated EP's).  The other stuff less so.

Not to start the "Christian band" debate again on anther thread but they're the perfect example of a "gray area" band.  There's very little Christian content lyrically but Jason Martin is a Christian and there's nothing un-Christian about them.

I like their lyrics. They are often pretty deep. Great example of Christians writing excellent lyrics that aren't all J-word sugar-coated!

Silver and Gold were awesome albums that I played frequently in my youth.

Silver is really the only one of theirs I like. I've tried and tried to like the other stuff but it never sticks. I don't know what my problem is!  Smile I thought Gold was, honestly, kind of boring except for a few tracks and I don't even remember anything on Americana. I even tried I am the Portuguese Blues and still nuthin'. So, I guess I said all that to say - Silver, baby, all the way! LOL

Yeah, I like them. I can see why metal fans dig the shoegazey stuff, but I honestly find it dull with each song kinda samey. This is my favorite S59 song. Great use of varied instrumentation similar to Pet Sounds.

I have a few of their albums, but for me I have always liked Gold and go back to this one quite often. My Island would be my next fav.

I really liked She's the Queen.  HOWEVER.  I had an error copy on tape.  Meaning the tape I had cut off the songs at the end of each side and was not the complete ep.  But I loved the album anyway.

That's awesome!!! Are you also a fan of Joy Electric and The Brothers Martin? What about Dance House Children?
