The wait is over and Canada’s most revered indie troop, STARS, return with their fifth full-length album, The Five Ghosts, available June 22. Five Ghosts marks the first release on the band’s new label imprint Soft Revolution Records licensed everywhere around the world except Canada through Vagrant Records .
“We have never written an album with this much cohesion and unity” says vocalist Amy Millan, “It is the first time we’ve had the luxury of being together in a huge room writing songs off the floor. The Five Ghosts is quintessential STARS.”
The Five Ghosts is the band’s follow-up to their 2007 release, In Our Bedroom After The War and also sees STARS returning to producer Tom McFall, who recorded their breakthrough, Set Yourself On Fire (2005). Recorded in Montreal, The Five Ghosts, in true STARS form, was written by all five members, Amy Millan, Evan Cranley, Torquil Campbell, Patty McGee and Chris Seligman. The album features a special guest appearance by Toronto singer-songwriter and Broken Social Scene member Andrew Whiteman.
BUFFALO MOON
Four-fifths Midwestern, one-fifth Latina, we are Buffalo Moon from Minneapolis, MN, USA. Congregating haphazardly under a common admiration for traditional samba, Brazilian psychedelia, and American rock and roll, our band formed in 2009 to flesh out the songs of our lead singer, Karen Freire. Shoddy equipment in tow and with little to no direction, our early shows nonetheless caught the attention of a cold-climate music scene looking for something tropical.
