The Long Dead Stars is where electronic dance poetry meets the wonders of rocks, geology, walking, and stars. Based in Yorkshire, we are passionate about creating music and poetry that celebrates our connection to rocks, ecology, and the dark skies of Whitby and Yorkshire. Our goal is to offer a unique blend of art and science through vinyl records, connecting with enthusiasts who share our love for the cosmic dance of the universe. We are dedicated to expanding our reach and inspiring others with the beauty of our planet and beyond.
