There hasn’t been much from the Stars camp lately besides an unexpected Polaris nomination and continuous touring in support of said nominated album, In Our Bedroom After The War. The only news indicating that some sort of music was being created and produced from any member of the band would be Torquil Campbell’s newly surfaced side project, Dead Child Star – which isn’t bad, but just never satisfied my Stars appetite much. So it comes as a complete surprise to see that today, Stars posted a new song entitled, “Why I Want To Save You” on their MySpace. The track itself is not terrible as it follows the typical Stars-signature indie-pop swoon that their previous works all share. As per usual, Campbell and Amy Millan’s harmonic beauty is framed with atmospheric keyboards and sweet percussions (provided by bassist, Evan Cranley). Can’t wait to see what else the band’s been secretly stashing away from us fans. For now, you can listen to “Why I Want To Save You” HERE.
In other news, Toronto’s very own We Take Lovers is giving away their new EP for free online right now, I guess as some Radiohead-esque move. I’m not too familiar with the band and to be honest, I don’t really remember why I looked them up a few weeks ago and added them on MySpace. Either way, that post was able to capture my attention and I’d encourage you to check it out too. I haven’t fully listened to the EP yet, but I will get back to you as soon as I do! You can download HERE.
