About Staring Problem

Active for over 15 years, Staring Problem blends ethereal pop with goth influences. The current lineup features Lauren Owen, Michael Erickson, and Andrew Jarosh. Musically you ca expect a sound that is close to The Cranes, Cocteau Twins or even Collection d’Arnell Andréa.

Their new album “Equinox” comprises predominantly new material collaboratively written by the trio, with lyrics addressing mental health, sociopolitical issues, environmental concerns, and technology. The album was recorded in 2023 by Matt Russell at Altered States Studio in Chicago.

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
