The Effective Disconnect (music Composed For Vanishing Of The Bees)

brand new studio album from one half of stars of the lid. the new full-length was composed as a soundtrack to 'vanishing of the bees', a 2009 documentary that examines the mysterious dying off of bees worldwide and its possible effects. stylistically, 'the effective disconnect' is contemporary classical music that sometimes borders on ambient - a sound that will be familiar to fans of stars of the lid. the goal was to create something a bit more hopeful than mcbride's usual fare, but he admits that 'old traditions die hard,' and what he came up with sounded 'more appropriate for a different and more forlorn film.' on kranky.
