2022 repress on vinyl. "This is the first vinyl issue of the sole The Dead Texan album originally released in May of 2004." "Stars Of The Lid's Adam Wiltzie presents a collection of drone compositions that he considered too aggressive for his parent band -- which means they range somewhere between a whisper and a shout. The sense of cathedral-like reverence is balanced with extreme intimacy." --Pitchfork "This is quite possibly the best music available for slowly drifting into dreamland. Equal parts intrigue and sedative, The Dead Texan is an elegantly hypnotic album that manages to freeze time in addition to passing it." --Tinymixtapes "The Dead Texan remains a remarkably subtle and tranquil work. Disarmingly lovely..." --Textura

"The Dead Texan contains music from Adam Wiltzie (Stars of the Lid, Aix Em Klemm) on compact disc and a DVD containing music videos by Adam Wiltzie and video artist Christina Vantzos. The eleven tracks on The Dead Texan are sonatas to Stars of the Lid's noctambulant fugues. Or as Adam Wiltzie describes them, mini symphonies. The presence of piano and strings are reminiscent of Zbigniew Preisners soundtrack work and the feel is suggestive of George Delerue's early 60s soundtracks, but the surreal smear of guitars is Wiltzie's unmistakable contribution."
