Saturday: Instar - We're Getting Older

     Just a quick late-night post for today, with something a little weird and spacey (figuratively and literally) to get you thinking this weekend.

     "We're Getting Older" is the latest track from self-proclaimed purveyors of adventure prog Instar, and its nearly six minutes of shifting grooves and ambient synthiness (aka figurative spaceyness) feature several guest session appearances from a variety of contributors, including Darkest Hour drummer Travis Orbin.

     Add in the fact that the song is lyrically sparse and instead interspersed spoken-word bits primarily concerned with the image of a starship and the listener's reactions and speculations and emotions on seeing said starship for the first time and you end up with the aforementioned literal spaceyness. For maximum effect, have a listen while staring up at the stars and contemplating our insignificance in the universe.
