Andrew Starr and the Hobo Scene dropped an album titled dead lighters go to heaven this year, and it is sure to take you on a journey through all of the emotions you’ve been trying to suppress but need to feel. The entire album feels like one long daydream: disjointed and noisey like a bustling city street, but gentle and harmonious like the feeling of being wrapped in your lovers arms. Andy Starr displays that they are a multi-talented artist playing most of the instruments featured on the album, and also doing most of the vocals. This album also briefly features Ben Abid, Pansy and Uncle Elder. If you’re down to listen to something a little less smooth on the ears, but a lot more deep in the heart: cop this album on Bandcamp.

Mackenzie: What would you consider to be the most influential album of 2016?

Andy Starr: David Bowie’s Black Star was amazing. It's so cryptic to me because they knew they were dying and acknowledged it multiple times and then died 3 days after releasing it. I hope I release my best album 3 days before my death. Deakins Sleep Cycle was also up there in my top 3. I'd say Tim Hecker's Love Streams influenced me most on this album in particular though. I tried to incorporate a lot of ambient airiness and they do that so well.

M: When creating dead lighters go to heaven what song was the toughest to create and why?

A.S.: Most of the songs came pretty naturally. I recorded them all pretty much after 1am so I was a lot less inhibited. The hardest thing was choosing what song to cut out. It was going to be 26 tracks originally and I cut it to 17. pumpkn man was pretty hard because I recorded when I was heavily inebriated and I did such a terrible job that it was hard to recover some of the recordings from my 8 track, so I have like 3 versions of that song.

M: If people only took away one message from this album, what would you want it to be?

A.S.: It takes a while to come to terms with who you are. A lot of the songs on this album are about identity and personal events I went through to figure out who I am and what exactly I'm doing here. I think people could find lots of different messages from this though. It spans a wide variety of topics.

M: Tell me a secret.

A.S.: I do a lot of maintenance work at my job and I've changed out one family photo in everyone's cubicle with a stock photo of a family and I think I'm going to continue until someone calls me out. My job is mind-numbingly boring and little shit like that helps me make it one more day I guess.
