Two month ago, members from Stars Like Fleas traveled to Iceland to finish mixing their new album, The Ken Burns Effect, at Greenhouse Studios (Bjork, Will Oldham, Sigur Ros).

[Full Disclosure: the owner of Monkey Town and the singer for Star Like Fleas are maternal twins.]


And while the album has yet to be mastered, they wanted to throw a 2-day listening party, where you can hear a pre-mastered mix of the entire album. It will be accompanied by video shot in Iceland utilizing the Ken Burns Effect.

Included in your admission will be a screening of two of their Concert A Emporter (Take Away Concerts) shot by French filmmaker Mathieu Saura. Past 'Emporter' performers have included Arcade Fire, Grizzly Bear, Xiu Xiu, Mojave 3, Elysian Fields, Doveman, and Stuart Staples (Tindersticks).

Also included in your admission will be a live short set by the Stars Like Fleas pl.aying themselves, in various subcutaneous duets, trios, quartets and quintets. A different line-up for every mood necklace!
