New Starflyer 59 Material in the Works

Recently, a fan in the Starflyer 59 Facebook group shared a link to T.W. Walsh's mastering site, where he has "Starflyer 59 - MX" listed under his 2015 work. "MX" means he's handling mixing. Walsh also mastered and played guitar on Starflyer's 2013 record, IAMACEO.

Starflyer's listing is the only one not followed by an "LP," "EP," or "Single" tag, but it seems safe to assume it will be a full-length record, as the band has focused squarely on LPs for the last several years.

In other news, Mike Adams of Mike Adams at His Honest Weight (whose record Best of Boiler Room Classics features a Jason Martin guitar solo) shared a mysterious image on a thread dedicated to the new Starflyer material in the fan forums. He offered no explanation, but as it's a square image with an album-art-feel to it, it is possible that this is the cover art of the new Starflyer 59 record. When mentioned in the Facebook group, Adams only left a simple "like."


While we all wait anxiously for official news, check out my old post on what I think a new Starflyer 59 record might sound like. What do you guys expect to hear? Discuss in the comments below!
