Pulsar 00:41
a pulsar is sort of like your heart it’s far away it’s a fallen star and though it’s far away so far that i can’t see i can feel its pulse eternally...

about

Praise/Press for Love Songs for Astronomers:

"This unconventional music is sadly humorous in affect, and seems to speak of a deep darkness, not necessarily as something threatening, but as something that just is – the background to experience...The real achievement of Vol. III: Love Songs for Astronomers is in the extent to which Meadows has gone to find a uniquely specific approach, tailored precisely to his irreducibly personal meanings. Acoustic guitars swim in lakes of reverb, vocals recede and approach, sometimes intimate, sometimes in huge echoing spaces, sometimes mordantly distorted. Songwriting becomes epigrammatic, and simple refrains are ridden like riffs. This is the real deal." -Oliver Arditi (www.oliverarditi.com)
​​
"Enjoyable, engaging, and emotionally provoking. This album has a deep space feel while hitting close to home." -Music Hound (Tuning Into the Obscure)

"I thoroughly enjoyed Love Songs for Astronomers and was impressed that [D. Klein] was able to pull [the concept] off without sounding ridiculous..." -Jamie Funk

about

Troy Meadows New Jersey

Hi all,

​I’ve been recording as “Troy Meadows” for something like fifteen years. My music has received airplay from radio stations like WMBR, WITR, WMFO, WNTE, KAOS, WTUL, KZSU, WUOG, XPN, WMPG, WTSR, and KALX.

I am a PROUD HOME RECORDER.

My latest release, A Faith Observed, is an album about wrestling with God. It's my clumsy masterpiece. As you will hear, every note is sincere.

-D. Klein
