Oh jeez, I can't believe there isn't a thread for Stars.

According to Wikipedia, "Stars is a Canadian indie pop band. Originally formed in Toronto by vocalist Torquil Campbell and keyboardist Chris Seligman, the band relocated to New York City and then subsequently to Montreal. Their music has been described as "beautiful, eloquent indie pop", characterized by lush instrumentation, nimble production and mixing, narrative lyrics, and soft but nuanced vocals."

In short, they pretty much rock.

Anyone else a fan?

I kind of like how not a lot of people have heard about Stars. It makes me feel special, like only super cool people know about them. (:

I especially love how their sound varies throughout their albums. I've found that their music can pretty much fit any mood I'm in. (:

Stars is one of my favorite music bands. I like "Tonight" and "On Peak Hill" from their Nightsongs album; "Heart" and "Don't Be Afraid to Sing" on Heart; and "One More Night" from Set Yourself on Fire. But I like most of their other songs, too! If you like Emily's voice (she's the female vocalist) you might like Metric. The style is definitely different (more of an edge) but I found Metric after Stars and I like them almost as much. smile.gif
