about

Pay what you want! Written after the death of a friend. That summer, I was watching a baby by day and I spent much time pushing him in his stroller around Austin in the heat trying to get him to take a nap. It gave me an opportunity to ponder death and that mixed with thoughts on the newness of the baby's life and how each of us really assigns meaning to our lives. My friend's death was a freak thing. But... really life is kind of a freak thing, innit?

lyrics

Our LIVES are all miraculous
And meaningless at ONCE
Miraculous and meaningless
All at ONCE in the universe

SOLO

We have a short time, a very very short time
To chisel meaning from conscious life
Let’s take the river, the endless, starry river
That carves its way through the universe
And carve our way through the universe


Chorus


From this perspective, this really broad perspective
There is no there there is only here
Here can be better - We’d better make it better
Let’s make it up and we won’t look down
We’ll make it up if we don’t look down

SOLO

Our lives are blank and meaningless
Until we start to carve
We sculpt the meaning of our lives
As we all course through the universe

Our lives are all miraculous
And meaningless at once
Miraculous and meaningless
All at once in the universe

about

Star Material Austin, Texas

We make pop rock that sounds like a party on the Millennium Falcon: Catchy like The New Pornographers but sometimes heavy like Metallica, sometimes twangy like Nick Cave. We also love the music of the 50s and 60s.

We believe that we're all just star material having a human experience for a little while and we might as well enjoy it - even when it's not so enjoyable.
