Stars of the Lid

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.

Finglebone
finglebone aka Adam Varney was born in 1979 in Salisbury UK. He started playing guitar at the age of 12 and was writing songs as soon as he learnt simple chords and scales. Over the years he developed a wider musical taste thanks to the infulence of friends and began to experiment with basic recording techniques involving two tape cassette recorders. The often warped effect of continously re-recorded tapes gave finglebone a homemade/lo-fi sound and gave his music a crackle and distinct sound.
