Torquil Campbell was dramatic as ever, the adorable Amy Milan bopped around the stage with glee, and the band sounded tighter than when I heard them play last year at The State Theatre in Ithaca.

You can pre-order the album here and listen to it in it’s entirety here at the price of your e-mail address.

Stars - "The Five Ghosts" Out June 22nd

Stars, those eclectic Canadian rockers with a penchant for playing heartstrings just as well as their respective instruments are back. Their fifth album, “The Five Ghosts” will hit stores physical and digital on June 22nd. You can pre-order the album on itunes and their official site. The i Tunes preorder comes with 5 bonus tracks. It looks as if stars is continuing in a slightly more electronic direction continued from their “Sad Robots” EP, fret not, the emotionality and euphoria isn’t going anywhere. Don’t believe me? Check out lead single “We Don’t Want Your Body”.
