A Landslide of Stars is the first Accelera Deck to be recorded and released as a band rather than the solo project of Chris Jeely (see below for more detailed info). As such the sound has hyper-evolved with no seeming reference point for the new music. But the truth is there are reference points for this new sound scattered throughout the Accelera Deck discography. First things first though, Zach Evans plays drums and Jeely sings, while playing guitar and creating his usual damaged guitar tones, and caustic melodies via computer. The results are a sandblast of experimental rock, with the emphasis firmly on rock and an underlying shoegaze style metallic ambience. The music is a wall of sound, anchored by a heavy low end guitar, and at times lead by Evans' propulsive drumming. The lyrics reflect Jeely's talent for wordplay and offer up a world of metaphors where sex becomes redemption, black eagles are buried, sunrises become landmines, and some mysterious creature called the wolf-christ puts an end to birth. All music written by Evans and Jeely.

about Accelera Deck:
Formed sometime mid 1996 as an outlet for the guitar and beat experiments of Chris Jeely.
From 1997 till 2005 Jeely has released 8 albums, and a handful of ltd edition 7", 12" and CDR's. Since 2003 He has played live up and down the East Coast of the United States. Anyone familiar with the Accelera Deck discography knows that Jeely is unafraid to try new things (witness 'Shadowland' from 2001, his totally acoustic album) and so it is that after nine years of solo work that Accelera Deck has become a band. So what will all this sound like ? Jeely says 'it sounds just like it should', Evans has called it 'fire-rock' and 'blast-drone'..... no matter what you call it Evans and Jeely have created a pretty unique sound by combining some really simple elements into a whole that is larger than the sum of its parts.
