Moviestar

"supreme art-pop that is unafraid to deviate from the norm…."

- Clash

Intergalactic archeologists Moviestar return with the release of their idiosyncratic sophomore album The Curse and the Currency of the Twenty-First Century, out 5th June 2020.

Once again showcasing the eclectic trio’s ability to create a cocktail of sounds that are full of fun and energy, The Curse and the Currency of the Twenty-First Century is unapologetically ambiguous from the offset. Upcoming single The Curse and The Currency combines art-pop, sci-fi punk and indie sensibilities in order to create Moviestar’s unpredictably dynamic sound. Fans of the likes of LCD Soundsystem and The Go! Team will feel at home here. Talking about the album, the band elaborate, "this is a concept album about the state of the world in 2020, seen from the perspective of the future. It addresses social media, the decline of human interaction, social distancing technology and environmental challenges.”

Moviestar are like no other band on earth. Having formed in the future on planet Fenris, Infinity Vik, The Octopus Goddess and Anaconda create their own style of art punk pop, filled with sonic twists and eccentric electronica throughout. The compelling trio were chosen to go on a dangerous mission through space and time to retrieve “the stone” and save the world. Movistar were then sent to Norway, the safest nation in the world, in the dreaded year of 2016.

Moviestar are not just a band, they are a reality experience. Their live shows encompass performance, art, storytelling, fashion and music in a whole new transcending form. Infinity Vik is a true performer with an explosive stage presence, having been compared to being a female incarnation of the likes of David Bowie and Freddy Mercury. Moviestar’s debut album Stupid People / Happy Days received critical acclaim from the likes of Clash Magazine, Songwriting Magazine, Louder, and Atwood Magazine to name but a few.

The Curse and the Currency of the Twenty-First Century is out 5th June 2020.
