An emotional, cinematic mix of electronic based trip hop and alternative. Film noir at its best.
Bio / Background
Founded in 2001 by singer/multi instrumentalist Adrien McCarthy, Lightfromadeadstar quietly slipped into the NYC electronic underground with "Valotte", a debut single that successfully combined the Bristol UK trip hop stylings of Massive Attack and Portishead with the emotional weight of bands like The Cure and Nine Inch Nails. The song and subsequent remixes that followed quickly began turning heads and eventually McCarthy was asked to perform the music for "The Love Song Of Henry Milk" a film which was awarded "Best Original Score" at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival.
Following the success of "Valotte" and work on the film, McCarthy entered the studio to record the first proper full length Lightfromadeadstar album. Two years later in September 2004, he emerged with "The Missing" a nine song collection of erotic, heartfelt and unsettling electronica.
↓ more ↓Using his unique voice as a guide, he pulled listeners calmly through the pensive first notes of the album's title track, the 80's new wave influenced rocker "The Last Time", the digital breakbeat storm of "Breakaway" and the beautiful shoegaze laced "Long Division". The album reached #3 on the Itunes Music Store's electronic music charts in March, 2005 just above The Chemical Brothers "Push The Button".
With the help of Ben Phelps, David Ley and Will McCutcheon, McCarthy brought The Missing to the stage with a number of successful east coast performances. The band's high intensity, dramatic shows quickly sparked the interest of other larger name bands and they closed out the summer of 2006 supporting Atlantic Records alternative rock outfit Kill Hannah.
After a short hiatus, McCarthy entered the studio in February '07 to begin work on the follow up to "The Missing".
