| Notes | Darkstar are an intriguing, puzzling group whose music has changed from (hyper)dubstep to keening electronica and now to something more hymnal and electronic. There’s something of a common thread perhaps of a poppy, wondering fragility. Anyway, the group’s latest incarnation is well served by this design which wraps the vinyl in a large poster. The digitally treated images of flowers convey a sense of awkward unease that perfectly mirrors Darkstar’s music. If you’re unfamiliar with the group’s music do check out the videos below, particularly the live performance. |
