Stream Stars’ new album “No One Is Lost” on NPR First Listen!
Today NPR Music launched a full album stream of STARS’ ‘No One Is Lost,’ one week ahead of release, saying it “prioritizes lightness and bittersweet uplift over the devastation strewn throughout ‘Set Yourself On Fire’ or ‘In Our Bedroom After The War.’ It’s the work of a band that’s plumbed life’s depths, only to find something worth living for at the bottom.”
‘No One Is Lost’ has already been featured as one of the most anticipated fall releases on New York Magazine, Pitchfork and Paste, and New York Magazine’s Vulture named the title-track one of the “Best New Songs” of this week. Listen to the full album at NPR: http://shorefi.re/1q3oMIY
STARS recorded ‘No One Is Lost’ at Montreal’s Mile End Studios, the former home of Handsome Furs (and the site of Arcade Fire’s first rehearsals). Mile End became a home away from home. Creeping into the sound of the new record was the music from the now-defunct discotheque Royal Phoenix located downstairs. The result is STARS’ most dance-floor-ready album to date. Drummer Pat McGee explains, “The sub-bass throb coming from the club below our studio was undeniably and unavoidably influential. It motivated us to out-throb the throb.”
STARS kick off their headlining North American tour in November with dates at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg, plus shows in DC, Boston, and LA. See a full list of dates below.
