Stars Like Fleas

Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010

Majestic, large-scale and dramatic, yet somehow introverted and delicate, the music of Stars Like Fleas fills the WNYC Studio. This Brooklyn-based band--orchestra, really--joins host David Garland to perform and talk about their music. The nine musicians of Stars Like Fleas include a few multi-instrumentalists, allowing a wide range of colors and dynamics to accompany their self-effacing lead singer, who likes to crouch in a corner, low to the ground.
