Liza Thorn, who together with guitarist Matthew Koshak makes up Brooklyn duo Starred, begins bottomless ballad "LA Drugs" singing like a warm exhale on cold air. Minus you, I have no luck she spills, insisting her would-be lover could never desire her before letting the romance roll off her as Koshak's guitars come to swirl underneath. Starred's Prison to Prison EP for Pendu Sound is out digitally now and due in stores November 20.
