Look at Stars
with all the mumbo jumbo that is cranked through my ipod, i have found myself consistently returning to the album Set Yourself on Fire by a little known band called Stars. hailing from Montreal, this album is actually the band's third release. what sets them apart is their use of an up-right bass (played by Evan Cranley) combined with the sweet and sultry voice of lead singer Amy Millan. Torquil Campbell assists with vocals and brass, while Chris Seligman rounds out this quartet with the keys. check them out for yourself and you will find what their indie label calls a "rallying cry of the soft revolution". this indie pop/moody rock foursome will have you feeling refreshed that you are listening to something that is full of heart and passion. its got a little bit of every mood and will satisfy your audio appetite for weeks.
also sounds like: Death Cab for Cutie, The Decemberists, Bloc Party, Sufjan Stevens, Broken Social Scene, Architecture in Helsinki
