 Starlight Mints are a group of beautiful pop mutants: four singular musical minds whose love for archetypal pop music and AM radio has provided, over the course of three previous acclaimed albums, a rock-solid foundation for a whole bunch of inspired uniqueness, all baked to perfection under the hot Oklahoma sun. Allan Vest (vocals/guitar), Marian Love Nunez (keyboards), Javier Gonzales (bass), Andy Nunez (drums), and Ryan Lindsey (keyboard / guitar) began jamming together in the '90s, giving birth to their own unusual brand of instrumentally complex, surrealistically worded pop sound.
Their latest creation, change remains, is available digitally now, with a CD to follow July 21st.
 Pre-order the new Starlight Mints album before July 21st (release date), and you'll receive a free high-quality download of the entire album!

Norman, Oklahoma psych-pop pranksters Starlight Mints will be releasing change remains digitally on June 9th and physically on July 21st. They'll be doing a US tour this summer in support of the new album, the first leg of which will be with Evangelicals. More dates will be announced soon. This is what Starlight Mints' member, Marian, has to say about the new album:
"Three appears to be the magic number for Starlight Mints, as far as years between album releases is concerned. Somehow, though, it seems just like yesterday we were begging for just a bit more time to wrap up drowaton. I guess running a music venue, raising 5 children and working on multitudes of media projects, including writing ballads for pretty boy bands, will make time go a bit faster. So, here we are three years later: we've used up all our extra time, we've chosen a title and we've sent the music and artwork to the presses. The fourth album is done! Four: our new magic number. See you again in 2013." |
Starlight Mints are teaming up with Mates of State for a fall North American tour. Check their shows page for all the details |
Starlight Mints' video for the song inside of me is currently being featured on UGO.com. |
