Description
Shimmering indie-pop collective Stars rode on the coattails of the success of fellow Canadians The Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene (with whom they share members.) Since then, they have proven themselves to be every bit the equal of their higher-profile siblings. The songs demonstrate a fluency with '00s indie rock, '80s synth-pop and choice bits of late-'90s emo, presenting an exquisite sonic bedrock for the harrowing breakup tales that singers Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan detail. It's exquisitely crafted turn-out-the-lights music for the kind of heartache that lingers long after the relationship ends. - Paul M. Davis sanjose.com
