Stars Like Fleas "I Was Only Dancing"

• Words: Bryant Rutledge
• Label: Hometapes

Stars Like Fleas gave experimental rock an emotional touch earlier this year, with the release of its third full-length, The Ken Burns Effect. Steeped in dizzying guitar textures, layered vocals, and the occasional interlude of quirky electronics, the Brooklyn-based band's album is a convergence of free-jazz, indie rock, and soft folk flavors, as seen with this track, which also features some subtle Americana strings. Finally, check the band on tour this fall.
