Stars – The Five Ghosts

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.

The first single from Five Ghosts is the infectiously melodic pop tune “Fixed” featuring Millan on vocals and will be available on iTunes soon.
