Austin, TX noise-pop upstarts DAIISTAR are today releasing a Sonic Boom remix of their track “Velvet Reality,” lifted from a new 7” out May 10th on Fuzz Club that also features their recently released single “Clear” on the A-side.
“Clear” and this accompanying remix arrive off the back of DAIISTAR’s highly-praised 2023 debut album Good Time, an 80s/90s-indebted blend of narcotic noise and melody produced by Alex Maas of The Black Angels and engineered by White Denim’s James Petralli. The studio version of “Velvet Reality” originally closed out the Good Time LP in a dreamy, washed-out haze and is here deconstructed even further by Spacemen 3 co-founder Pete Kember aka Sonic Boom.
Having spent 2023 touring North America with The Black Angels, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols – including festival appearances at Levitation/Austin Psych Fest, Desert Daze, SXSW, Freak Out, Treefort and a recent KEXP session to boot – the “Clear” 7” is released in support of a seven-week UK and European tour underway now.
