about this song
If you like your pop hooks slow-cooked in shoegaze-gravy, have we got the song for you. LSD and the Search for God are as enigmatic as their name, which gives “Starting Over” and their eponymous EP a mystique reserved for the rarest of grimoires. Best enjoyed with headphones securely fastened, “Starting Over” invites you to get lost—and found—inside yourself.
why this is interesting
This project rewards sustained attention by merging accessible melodic sensibilities with texturally complex production that unfolds across repeated listens. Rather than asserting its ideas loudly, the music works through layering and restraint, creating space for reflection. The band's deliberate obscurity—their anonymity, their cryptic framing—paradoxically deepens engagement; you're drawn inward, decoding emotional resonance from sound design rather than biographical narrative. For listeners fatigued by transparent pop mechanics, this represents genuine artistic risk: music that trusts its audience's patience and intelligence, offering intimacy through mystery rather than confession.
