Brion Starr is a musician based in New York City. Starr's debut album, Global Identity (TAXI 002LP, 2019) was released in early 2019. The album was recorded at Konk Studios (home of The Kinks) in London with a cadre of international musicians including Robbie Wood (Swim Deep, Lida Fox, and Matthew McAuley (ARE Weapons). This is the sister album, Rope Memories, the diary of a highly successful advertising agent who is at the end of earth's life cycle and has to choose to stay on a fated earth or take all of their money earned to buy seats on a shuttle to an exclusive colony in space. The album is to be understood as a concept and varies between highly-developed art rock songs with moments of glam spectacle and punk brevity alternating with slower instrumental ambient songs reminiscent of early ambient pioneers which are meant to represent various stages of space travel. Edition of 300, printed inner sleeve.
