Nameless Star

The Painters

“Nameless Star,” the EP’s kraut-pop outlier, is a sonic rocket ship ride that ascends relentlessly, shedding and adding layers as it soars through space. The vocalists sing whisperingly in unison, their voices fusing into an alien character who reflects on an interplanetary missed-connection, carrying the song on a white knuckle trip before powering into a hyper-driven solo. Halls’ jet-fueled lead guitar screams and collides in a dance of inter-galactic sludge that channels Neu and Sonic Youth, sucking the listener into a black hole and spitting them out into a triumphant refrain, continuing the song’s astral climb without ever slowing or reaching a destination.
