Currently available for\u00a0pre-order on <a href=\"http:\/\/highvoltagepr.us8.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=8bbd1fce629615658f82df5cd&amp;id=d96c863014&amp;e=b0da5a889f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a>, it comes as a follow up to\u00a0last year&#8217;s &#8216;Bright Colors,&#8217; which\u00a0featured plenty of\u00a0crunchy guitars,\u00a0infectious pop melodies, and &#8217;90s nostalgia.<\/p>\n<p>While &#8216;Perfect Patterns&#8217; still finds\u00a0the band embracing their affinity for the fuzzed-out slacker vibes of Dinosaur Jr. and the pop sensibilities of Weezer, it takes a turn towards more aggressive guitars, minimalist song structure, and stripped-down arrangements. Lead single <em>Pink Clouds<\/em> is a perfect example: one of the most explosive, high-energy tracks on the album, it&#8217;s built around a simple guitar riff and clocks in at under three minutes.\u00a0You can stream the track via <u>Soundclou<\/u><u>d below<\/u>\u00a0&amp; grab a free download with all Bandcamp pre-orders.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F333550956&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&visual=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&color=959493\"><\/iframe>\n<p>Exploring themes of materialism, addiction, and getting older, Dead Stars&#8217; third LP is their most honest and intimate release to date. Written during a time when everything around the band seemed to be changing at warp speed, they focused on the one thing that hadn&#8217;t changed: their common love of playing loud, energetic indie rock. If anything, they&#8217;ve become more comfortable saying what they want to say, which comes through lyrically on the new\u00a0album.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-26278\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2ac9f58a-6b52-4697-b409-d80579eca736.jpg?resize=440%2C440\" alt=\"Dead Stars Perfect Patterns cover\" width=\"440\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2ac9f58a-6b52-4697-b409-d80579eca736.jpg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2ac9f58a-6b52-4697-b409-d80579eca736.jpg?resize=150%2C150 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2ac9f58a-6b52-4697-b409-d80579eca736.jpg?resize=144%2C144 144w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2ac9f58a-6b52-4697-b409-d80579eca736.jpg?resize=176%2C176 176w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2ac9f58a-6b52-4697-b409-d80579eca736.jpg?resize=60%2C60 60w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2ac9f58a-6b52-4697-b409-d80579eca736.jpg?w=500 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Perfect Patterns track listing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
