In celebration of their 10 Year Anniversary, Build An Ark Founder
/ Producer Carlos Niño put together a special new release, comprised of over an hour of material, taken from Live Performances,
Rehearsals, Recording Sessions, and Collaborations, most of which have never been released. Featuring Nate Morgan, Dwight
Trible, Phil Ranelin, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Mia Doi Todd, Gaby Hernandez, Dimlite, Paul Livingstone, Turn On The Sunlight,
and more, THE STARS ARE SINGING TOO stands alongside Build An Ark's previous full-lengths and EPs with the unique distinction
of being the only record that spans their whole existence! It's a 10 Year overview that tells a story, not just a compilation
of a bunch of bonus tracks, or outtakes. This record features a large excerpt of Sun Ra's "Door Of The Cosmos,"
one of Build An Ark's first recordings, and finest interpretations. It also includes an alternate take and mix of their beautiful
instrumental tribute to Van Morrison's "Sweet Thing." (Sub Pop recording artist, and one half of synth-pop super
group The Postal Service,) DNTEL turns in an incredibly soothing and vibrant remix of "Love, Sweet Like Sugar Cane."
Full ensemble improvisations, solos pieces and flowing medleys all find their way into this sequence that wonderfully represents
the depth and scope that this Cosmic Family Band has channeled!
