Starbenders Share New Single And Release ‘Love Potions (Zodiac Deluxe)’

---

Atlanta-based glam punk rockers Starbenders have released a new single alongside the release of the band’s new deluxe album ‘Love Potions (Zodiac Deluxe)’.

The new album ‘Love Potions (Zodiac Deluxe)’, which releases via Sumerian Records, honours the one year anniversary of the release of their debut album “Love Potions”. The new deluxe version includes five new songs captured during the making of their debut album. The new album can be listened to here.

Talking about the new release, that band said “2020 seemed to fictionalize our lives and scatter everyone to the digital winds as we existed online only. Not being able to take our release to the people was hard to swallow but we managed to still find ways to connect. To celebrate the one year anniversary of Love Potions, we decided to commemorate it with a deluxe edition. “Love Potions (Zodiac Deluxe)” is a thank you to all the people that have supported us all along the way.”

The new release also comes alongside the release of the band’s new single ‘Angel’ from the deluxe album. Check out the new track here:

Sharing her inspiration for the track, Kimi Shelter said “I had a friend overdose and lose their life to opioid addiction. It gutted me to see their flame and all its potential vanish. My beautiful friend was one of the most dazzling and talented individuals I had met. His tragedy found its way into the words and vibe of “Angel”. The opioid crisis in the United States has touched countless lives and has only gotten worse during the pandemic of 2020.”

Adding “The main line in the song, “is my angel holding?” attempts to capture the cunning and baffling nature of addiction. Here you are on the edge of life and death and your only thought is, “hey, can I still score?” “is my angel holding?””

“My hope and prayer is that the isolation and loneliness that 2020 brought fades away as we find our way back toward humanity. If you have someone in your life who is suffering, make sure to give them a hug and tell them that you love them. It might be your last chance to share how you feel.”
