Album Notes Audio Mixer: Trent Bell. While the facile thing to do is to compare the whirlingly experimental symphonic indie pop of Starlight Mints to fellow Oklahomans Flaming Lips, and that's a constant pitfall, it's a stunningly inadequate comparison. While the Norman-based band owes much to those wily experimenters that came before, and the Barsuk website does not stretch the truth to dub them "pranksters" (hence there are worse starting points than the FL), Starlight Mints deal in their own brand of mix-and-match musical wizardry, bewitching and magnificently mystifying in its own way, cobbled from its own corners of the rock-&-roll galaxy. And so it goes on their 2009 offering, their fourth overall, CHANGE REMAINS, as the band flits from pitch-perfect pop majesty on single-ready tracks like "Black Champagne" and "Paralyzed," to the LP's second half's TV on the Radio-style indie-disco-hop pure groove-rock fun.
