Experimental Moog Mastermind Stark Sound Lab Releases 'Wally's Woes' Single
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Stark Sound Lab has released his newest electronica single, "Wally's Woes." The track is the tenth official release to come from Canada's Stark Records independent music label. Marked by driving percussion, fugue-like chord progressions and SSL's inimitable Moog melodies, "Wally's Woes" proves Stark Sound Lab to be among the most inventive electronica artists for 2017.

In the past Stark Sound Lab has cited as inspirations such legends as Vangelis, Kraftwerk, Hans Zimmer, Brian Eno, and Keith Emerson - Emerson being ever-present in "Wally's Woes" - but SSL insists that music artists are not the source from which their latest track has sprung.

"In the case of 'Wally's Woes,' there were no outside musical influences, just a gut-wrenching emotional reaction," writes Stark Sound Lab. "Wally's Woes is a very emotional song that was written, performed and recorded while our mascot, Wally (four-year-old Boston Terrier) was in hospital fighting for his life after being poisoned."

The track was recorded live using vintage, highly prized Moog keyboards: a System 55, a Voyager and a Model 15, each of which instruments boasts its own fan club around the world. It was dedicated to Wally the dog at Stark Records' website while he was still suffering from his illness.

"Wally is a shining star at Stark Sound Lab, barking at delivery vans and welcoming visitors," writes Stark Sound Lab. "Our hearts sank knowing he might not return to us. So we did everything we could, got him the best veterinarian, prayed, and wrote music in his honour."

It has been surmised that poisoned dog treats had been left on the sidewalk in a random act of malice. Thanks to Stark Sound Lab - and an excellent vet - this black intent has had the opposite effect of giving enjoyment to music lovers everywhere in the form of this raw, powerfully evocative, electronic prog-pop single, "Wally's Woes."

And after all, there is a happy ending.
"Our prayers were answered when Wally was able to leave hospital and join us once again. It was truly a Christmas Miracle that Wally survived and is now with us again watching over Stark Sound Lab."

"Wally's Woes" is available online worldwide from over 700 quality digital music outlets now. Get in early.
