"There's an infestation of rats, burning their backs in the sunshine"
History
"They should be made a National institution! ...or instutionalised!" (Losing Today)
From 1991 to 2007 Beatnik Filmstars have been recording, playing and releasing music. Psychedelic, Lo-Fi, Indierock, Indie Pop, Experimental, ...call it what you want.
Many classic lo-fi albums to their credit, on as many different labels around this big old world, including Merge, Track & Field, Slumberland and Mobstar.
Five John Peel sessions...That alone should be enough to convince you.
2008 finds the band once more changing, like a lo-fi catapiller into a less lo-fi, more country tinged, mellower sounding band. The tunes are still there, the lyrics as interesting, and unusual as ever. It's just the overall finished product is warmer, less aggressive, cleaner...
Those who love their songs will love the new direction. And new ears? well you've got a lot of listening to catch up on. But once you're in, you'll have a great time...
