Best New Music – Stars ‘The Five Ghosts’

-
Written by Bear

Music is all about how it makes you feel. I don’t like to feel like a thug, so I don’t listen to gangsta rap. I usually go for feeling sexy, that’s why the new Stars album is an album you should know. The Five Ghosts, well, it’s elegant, passionate, sexy, emotional, upbeat, and something that I’ve been missing in music lately, and that’s pure and simple happiness. I feel this is one of the best albums to be released by the band throughout their illustrious career. Stand out tracks on the album include “We Don’t Want Your Body”, “How Much More”, “Wasted Daylight”, and “Fixed”. Stars seem must never have head the term filler, the much dreaded word that defines careers of most bands. The album is brilliant the whole way through, the recording is impeccable.

‘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 Tracklisting:
1) Dead Hearts
2) Wasted Daylight
3) I Died So I Could Haunt You
4) Fixed
5) We Don’t Want Your Body
6) He Dreams He’s Awake

    Greenhorse @ The Satellite, 5/11

    Greenhorse’s performance at the Satellite was more than just a typical opening band on a Friday night. Sharing their home state with popular headliners Gauntlet Hair (its Wyoming), Greenhorse also recognized how monumental this moment really is: “It’s kind of exciting because when we first moved to L.A, we came to Spaceland and we were like, ‘I hope we get to play here someday.” The trio played to a dark room, each member merely lit by their own spotlight, which [...]

    Choir of Young Believers at SPOT Festival 2012

    Choir of Young Believers are a band whose music perfectly emulates their name. With an ecclesiastic, reverberant sound quite akin to that of Fleet Foxes, this seven-piece Danish band not only possess a musicality that is powerful and elating, they are also captivating live and have a stage presence that is transfixing. CYOB’s show at SPOT Festival was deep and dynamic, possessing a memorably surreal energy. Their music resonates within every cell of the body, stirring emotions that you never [...]

    Thee Attacks @ SPOT Festival 2012

    Thee Attacks were an unexpected highlight at this years SPOT festival with their seductively wild performance that shook the Voxhall stage to it’s core and stripped the walls bare until all that remained was a static sexual charge that was impossible to ignore. It was not their first time at SPOT festival, nor were they new to the stage in any way- having performed at numerous locations around the world in the last few years, including this years SXSW. Yet the [...]

    SPOT Festival 2012, Århus Denmark

    It was a Scandinavian Spring morning as I boarded the train from Copenhagen to Århus, Denmark’s smaller, quieter version of Copenhagen, and the home of SPOT festival. Being my first time at SPOT as well as my first time in Århus, my expectations were built solely on the good things I had heard through the grapevine about the two-day musical whirlwind, dedicated to showcasing emerging Danish and Nordic bands. My first thought on arrival was ‘where are all the people?’ [...]

    The Mowgli’s CD Release Party @ The Roxy

    In a word, The Mowgli’s are happy. The crowd that follows The Mowgli’s is quite a diverse one, not so surprising given their demeanor – filling The Roxy with old and young, long skirts, short shorts and even studded belts. Turns out love & happiness arent’t just reserved for flower power! The benefits of releasing an album before throwing the party are that the audience already owns, loves and knows every word so this crowd didn’t miss a beat once [...]

    Boz Boorer – Slippery Forces (video)

    If the name Boz Boorer doesn’t ring any bells, then you’re probably not alone. Quite possibly more commonly known as Morrissey’s guitarist,Boorer presents you with a tune that demonstrates that he is capable of and on his way to etching a name for himself in the indie music scene.
