It invites you to study its ancestry. You&#8217;ll find traces of psychedelic rock, garage, &#8217;60s girl group, (post)punk and &#8217;80s underground pop. A more recent reference point is <a href=\"https:\/\/uvtv.bandcamp.com\/album\/glass\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UV-TV&#8217;s 2017 record <em>Glass<\/em><\/a>. That band became more pop oriented on subsequent records, and I&#8217;m curious what the trajectory of Star Party will be. But until then, I will be plugging this record to all my friends.<\/p>\n<p><em>Meadow Flower<\/em> is out now.
