What’s in a name? Not much or else Trampled By Turtles would have never made it out of their garage (or whathaveyou) …

Trampled By Turtles claim to have sold-out 95% of all their shows in 2011 – not to mention their choice slots at big ass festivals like Coachella and Telluride. This was all while they were working their last album, Palomino, which the band happened to record on the road, trying different songs in different rooms with little regard to aural continuity.

For their new album, Stars and Satellites, Trampled By Turtles thought they would take the opposite approach, or so says the Turtles’ own Dave Simonette: “We took our songs, along with engineer Tom Herbers and his tape machine, to Soleil Pines, a log home outside of Duluth and within the gravitational pull of Lake Superior. We moved the furniture, set up some mics, worked, slept, and ate all in the same space…  I like to think Stars and Satellites is the result of us continuing the search for our own voice and a step in the growth of a band that, at the very least, still loves to play together.”
