"I don't wanna be him / I don't wanna hurt / I just want to feel / Safe inside of her..."
Stillastar is the moniker of Cleveland, Ohio based artist, musician, producer Austyn Benyak and one half of the indie rock outfit Pearly. "Momma" is Stillastar's debut (at least to the world at large) as noted on Spotify: "the only everloving song I have" and as such feels like a tease for artistic things to come. It is a hazy, psychedelic, beautifully distorted affair that sways ever so slowly. Austyn's vox are buried in it all with his words like sad shiny gems to be found. Once you do find them, and thankfully they are revealed beneath the bent lens Official Video, you will fall further into the song, sing along and maybe think about things in your life, about people in your life, some alive and some dead that you love but maybe have not gotten to know like you should have or they gotten to know you. It is that kind of song.
"Momma" contains deep beauty, the kind of beauty you feel in human pain revealed. The kind of beauty found in dark lullabies and eulogies.
-Robb Donker Curtius
FYI: Pearly's first studio album (Austyn Benyak and Josie Yeager) will drop on February 11th, 2022.
