Stars Battle Leaks by Releasing Digital Bedroom Today!
It was a little over a week ago that the first peek behind the door of In Our Bedroom After the War, the latest from ethereal indie-poppers Stars, made its way onto the internet. You might've glanced at the tracklist, perhaps nabbed new jam "The Night Starts Here" on Forkcast, and sighed wistfully, wishing away the hours between now and September 25. But when Stars are involved, seems wishes sometimes come true.
In an Arts & Crafts posting directed to "friends, fans and supporters of Stars," the band and label explain that the final mix of In Our Bedroom After the War was delivered Friday, July 6, but that, through the process of getting the CD to journalists and radio stations, "inevitably someone will leak the album." Though they don't exactly condemn the leak process, they're not really happy about the monetary losses involved, and, "as such, [they] are making the new Stars album available for download today."
That's right: Stars' In Our Bedroom After the War is, as of today, available (legally) via digital retailers (including A&C's own online shop). It's like a glimpse into the future... now!
"It's our hope," Stars and A&C write, "that given a clear, legal alternative to downloading music for free, you will choose to support the creators." Well played, guys. Well played, indeed.
The real album (in CD and double-LP form) will still hit shelves September 25, though by then, you'll hardly have much need for a lyric sheet, willya? Thanks to several readers (who we have to assume are bumpin' War all legal-like at present) for the tip.
In other Stars news, that trio of tour dates they have scheduled aren't going anywhere.
Four Stars for generosity:
09-06 Grand Rapids, MI - Calvin College Fine Arts Center
09-08 Montreal, Quebec - Osheaga Festival
09-09 Toronto, Ontario - Virgin Festival

Well I got my tickets, so I guess I should go buy the new album now.

My problem is starting with the first song is that the songs mixed with the lyrics just seem very cheesy to me, seems kinda like chick pop music if that makes any sense

also does anyone know who sings the chorus part on "Barricade"? it doesn't sound like Torq.

Have you heard "Do You Trust Your Friends"? Owen Pallett's remix of Your Ex-Lover Is Dead is awesome, but then again, so is everything Owen Pallett does. Also the remix of Ageless Beauty by some band called Most Serene Republic is pretty good, too, in a weird way.

Yeah they can be a little hit and miss, but when they are hit, they really are hit.

set yourself on fire is my favorite album of theirs, the middle of the album is a little boring, but the last 3 songs are the best imo.

I like. I only have "set yourself on fire" and tend to lose interest after the first tune. Any recommnedations for a newbie?
