The Birth is the debut studio album by American rock band Stardeath and White Dwarfs. Review by Ned Raggett Stardeath & White Dwarfs' reputation -- and public profile -- certainly isn't hurt at all by the fact that there's the family connection to the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne, given his nephew Dennis fronts the band..."New Heat" has something of a big and beautiful shimmer underneath the intentional production murk and echo, while the Pink Floyd-goes-funk break on "Those Who Are from the Sun Return to the Sun" is a nice touch -- but even so, it underscores that the band's own identity is yet to be truly forged in full. Still, points for ending the album on a song called "Smoking Pot Makes Me Not Want to Kill Myself." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_GIsxvNq78&list=OLAK5uy_lWPS-2_DRjcNo4aaD_1nssA80xj1qH_V8 #StarDeathandWhiteDwarfs #FlamingLips #Music #Psychedelia
