Description:

Spin - "GANGSTER STARS leans towards a funkier, more upbeat mood -- perhaps to match what it feels like for an alien to discover what life on earth is all about..." Uncut - "GANGSTER STAR is a light, trippy confection, reinventing R&B with rippling electronics and slippery, Prince-like funk." Paste (magazine) - "[A] rich fabric of gorgeous, reverb-laden sound....Their compositions build from lo-fi fuzz to improvisatory jazz drumming to driving funk." Pitchfork (Website) - "GANGSTER STAR reads like Butler's version of a memoir: his experience as an extraterrestrial being deposited on a hostile planet."
