Sheffield, United Kingdom
'STARLINGS' was started in a steel city studio in the spring of 2009 to provide a rhythmical release from the humdrum offerings of the daily grind. Jet set on their melodic mission, the boys spent their early days under the wonderful wing of ultra-psych producer Richard Norris (The Grid // Time & Space Machine // Beyond The Wizards Sleeve) blending Balearic beats with cosmic synths to fashion a funk-tinged toe-tapping shimmering disco sound.
Sipping on a potion of psychedelic notion, Starlings are now sowing their scene from north to south and appear intent on stitching their name firmly into Sheffield’s spiritual electronic band fabric.
The band were born on the “Balearic” concept and are influenced by Talk Talk, house music, Simple Minds (New Gold Dream), Heaven 17, New Order, Giorgio Moroder, disco, Fools Gold, sunshine, starlight…
