Stars continues to be one of my favorite bands. With strong melodies, and creative integration of quite a few band members; they keep producing music I want to listen to daily. Their most recent album, “Up in Our Bedroom After the War” (listen) was on of my favorites of 2007, and I was stoked to see their new EP!
The EP opens with a rather ominous musical piece, that doesn’t truly go anywhere, but does set a mood.
The next few tracks a typical Stars: a mix of Amy and Torquil’s voices, as the song builds throughout the track, with a unique blend of synths and big drums. It’s just good. And be sure to check out the micro-site sadrobots.ca because, if nothing else, it’s pretty to look at.
Listen to the full EP below; and then do everyone a favor and go buy it! They’re also offering the track “Going, Going Gone (Live Version) as a free download here.
(If you’re having trouble playing the song, drag the bar a second to the right).
