Very interesting dark mix of post metal (death, black, doom, progressive...), ambient, programming, up tempo and down tempo shifts, male and female vocals with strong atmosphere and genre-breaks in one monolithic piece. Czech band, starting playing again...
Stars of the Lid are a band specializing in drone-based ambient music. They list among their influences minimalist and electronic composers such as Arvo Pärt, Zbigniew Preisner, Gavin Bryars, and Henryk Górecki, as well as Talk Talk (both bands have tracks named "Taphead"), post-rock artists Labradford, and ambient innovator Brian Eno. Their music largely consists of beatless soundscapes, composed of droning, effects-treated guitars along with piano, strings, and horns; volume swells and feedback fill the gap of rhythmic instruments, providing dynamic movement within the songs.
Mark E. Smith (born 5 March 1957) is the lead singer, lyricist, co-composer and frontman of The Fall, a renowned and idiosyncratic offshoot from the UK post-punk / new wave music scenes.

He gave up his job at Salford docks shortly after to devote his full energies to The Fall, and has continued to do so ever since.

(Being a trumpet player, he didn’t get to play drums that often!) The band lasted until the end of 1996 whereupon Steve’s first Blues Brothers tour started. Then in 2003 Steve got a phone call from his friend and ex-lead trumpet with the band, Bryan Davis, who suggested reforming the band for a gig at The Wardrobe in Leeds.
American indie rock and avant-garde musician, composer and producer Jim O'Rourke has been a key component in the increasing overlap of the American and European experimental music avant-garde, working in everything from jazz and rock to ambient and electro-acoustic and building many a bridge in between. A Chicago native, his work has found equal luck with experimental jazz and noise fanatics, chill room denizens, and bedroom experimentalists, and has had the resultant effect of cross-pollinating many otherwise isolated compositional communities.
