The Ken Burns Effect

"If they didn't create their own source material, you might think of Stars Like Fleas as documentarians, amassing vast quantities of musical reference points, rifling through them like index cards, deciding what's important and what's not and, finally, fitting them all into a cohesive, organic narrative that doesn't feel pieced together. That's my best guess as to what these two Brooklyn-based, organic-electronic artists mean by The Ken Burns Effect, but who knows? Like its predecessor Sun Lights Down on the Fence, Ken Burns lives mostly outside the realm of language and logical explication, in the intersection of grainy, sepia-toned country folk, soul trembling falsetto and free-ranging improvisatory jazz." -- Jennifer Kelly, Dusted Magzine
