“Let me out of this world…
Let me our of this world…
Let me ride shotgun.”
For those of you still living in this world…
For those of you who have become a bit bored with the ho-hum-auto-tune lyrics of the American billboard top 25…
For those of you craving the next wave, whatever wave that may be…
Have I got an inside track for you!
It’s called "Dream Catcher" and it’s just another in a series of fresh rhythmic tracks featuring out of this world electro melodies, chest thumping bass lines, and soul-touching lyrics from Madison, Wisconsin’s locally grown Electro-Pop group Star Persons.
Deken Frost, co-founder and co-MC of the fast rising and far shooting Star Persons, has a voice that commands attention even in the most informal of settings; like a narrow, musty alleyway reeking of overflowed dumpsters which line the cold walls behind an underused dance club on Madison’s near west side.The piles of trash in the alley serve as a metaphoric backdrop to Madison music scene; each dumpster symbolizing a broken down and forgotten local musical talent. A talent that came but never went far.
Deken Frost, who plans on going as far as he can, is quick to reference the title of his brainchild album and hopeful ticket out of these back alley trash heaps.
“The album is called Just Visiting…and as far as I’m concerned, that’s all we’re doing here.” Indeed, Star Persons has a sound that is too grand in scope to be confined to Madison’s non-existent pop scene.
Frost has been pushing the envelope in the Madison music scene since his teenage days busting out improvisational rhymes on the street corners of Madison’s West side while avoiding truant officers and skipping out on the majority of his high school classes in the 1990s.
But it wasn’t until his front man days with this hip-hop-hard-rock group Know Boundaries that Frost emerged into the limelight of Madison’s critical music media.
