Stars

Another electro-indie band. Similar to The Postal Service songs that include Jenny Lewis due to the female vocals. Stars has amazing lyrics and crazy electronic spurts.

Any fans?

Hmm...I've never heard of this band before. That's odd because I like indie bands. I'll have to do some research on them.

I would say that they're nothing like The Postal Service... at all!

They're from Montreal, Canada. They are far more instrumental than electronic. There is a main male and female vocalist, their songs revolve primarily around relationships

They have a great sound, you can sample some of their songs on their website: http://www.arts-crafts.ca/stars/

As long as we're talking Arts and Crafts, has anyone here listened to The Most Serene Republic, or, more importantly, Broken Social Scene (who is really at the top of the Arts and Crafts food chain).

Re: Stars

Set Yourself On Fire is the perfect indie-pop album, I can't really decide on a favorite song theirs so many I like Reunion, Your Ex-Lover Is Dead, The First Five times, they're really good.

Re: Stars

I am the biggest fan of Stars on the planet. I love Your Ex Lover is Dead. It's beautiful. I also really like from their other albums Calander Girl, On Peak Hill, Sleep Tonight, etc. They're amazing. You have wonderful taste, Paul.
