Stuporstar is the debut single from Strikeslip. Strikeslip features seminal LA-based artists John Talley-Jones (Urinals, 100 Flowers, Trotsky Icepick, Radwaste), Juan Gomez (Human Hands [!], Romans, LAFMS) and Daniel Johnson. This 7” combines elements of Talley-Jones’ past forays into synths (Uniblab) and glam rock. Limited to 300 copies.

This is a really lovely single. Tongue-in-cheek power pop that brings to mind NATURAL CHILD, SPACE PHLEGM, and even a little bit of early ROLLING STONES. Incredible production here as well. Everything sounds clean and natural. I love hearing poppy music like this that isn’t compressed to all hell. This might not enter the rotation of the typical MRR reader, but I’m smitten by it. For fans of Matador Records and people who think indie music peaked in the mid-’90s.
