Stars Artist Snapshot:

Part of the Montreal music scene since the turn of the millennium, Stars' candied pop melodies, boy/girl harmonies, and keyboard hooks reflect the zeitgeist of Canadian independent music circa the early '00s, as also demonstrated by their peers Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene. Within the basic four-chord template, Stars introduce a variety of approaches, from strummy indie-rock to light electronica to prim chamber pop. Torquil Campbell and Chris Seligman make a crack songwriting team, and Amy Millan's breathy vocals add to the ambience. Millan's 2006 countrified solo album also proved popular with fans.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.77) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Amy Milian's mournful voice takes center stage in torch ballads like 'Window Bird.'"
Spin (p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Milian soars on the big chorus of the otherwise understated 'Bitches in Tokyo'..."
Uncut (p.123) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The Feist-like 'My Favourite Book' and the triumphant 'Today Will Be Better, I Swear!' are songs of rare craft..."
Alternative Press (p.163) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he title track is the band's biggest, boldest statement yet, a heartbroken ballad whose inside-out optimism raises it to a heavenly height."

Title Note

Stars: Chris Seligman (Fender Rhodes piano); Evan Cranley (bass guitar); Pat McGee, Amy Millan, Torquil Campbell (background vocals).

Additional personnel: Andrew Whiteman (guitar); Genevieve Walker, Jesse Zubot, Jade McNelis (violin); Joseph Elworthy (cello); Daniel Handler (accordion); Erik Hove (saxophone).

On this 2007 follow-up to its acclaimed SET YOURSELF ON FIRE, the Canadian indie-rock ensemble Stars wander further into pop territory. Along with Feist, the group is clearly one of the most accessible acts in the Broken Social Scene collective, a notion that it runs with on bright, dramatic tunes such as "The Night Starts Here," a lush, synth-pop number, and the sweeping, string-laden title track. While the band seems most at home with ornate, keyboard-driven arrangements (see the lightly funky "My Favourite Book," which showcases Millan's breathy voice), Stars also indulge in occasional guitar-heavy moments, as best evinced during the frenzied six-string solo at the end of "Window Bird." Although not as consistent as FIRE, IN OUR BEDROOM AFTER THE WAR is a boldly ambitious outing that will certainly please many of Stars' ardent fans.

5 out of 5 stars An impressive follow-up to a smash album, July 15, 2008
By romanticrights
After the critical and commercial success of Set Yourself on Fire, Canadian supergroup, Stars, prove that the curse of the sophmore slump doesnt always hold true. With sing-along hits like Take me to the Riot and The Ghost of Genova Heights, and the poignant and touching vocals on Personal, In Our Bedoom After the War is definitely a must-listen!
