Stars - In Our Bedroom After the War
The fourth album from Montreal-based band Stars is extremely satisfying. It is less heartbreaking than anything they’ve done in the past. Problem: I love heartbreaking. However, this album is catchy and I also love to dance when I walk. The instruments, as always, are beautiful. One could easily listen to this album several times without listening to the lyrics and be entertained. After those first listens, however, the lyrics reveal themselves to be poignant and accessible. Another classic Stars move put to use on “In Our Bedroom”: the appearance of dialogue from movies or elsewhere, which adds a shot of pure human-ness into your listening experience. Heartbreaking? Not so much. Delicious? Absolutely.
