Summary: <p style="line-height: 18.0pt;margin:0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;">Canadian indie-pop band <a href="https://www.youarestars.com/">Stars</a> makes almost orchestral pop that has the bonus quality of being danceable. They’ve also got a knack for vividly descriptive storytelling, built around the dueling vocals of singers Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan. Formed in the early 2000’s, Stars has been “remarkably stable” over the years; they enjoy making one another laugh, they've written a play, and even fiction about themselves. </p> <p style="line-height: 18.0pt;margin:0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;">Their ninth studio album, <em>From Capelton Hill</em>, covers pandemic shock, explores memory – perhaps with a sepia tinge, and has a strong sense of place. Stars plays remotely for the Soundcheck Podcast. </p> <p style="line-height: 18.0pt;margin:0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;"><a href="https://starsband.bandcamp.com/merch/stars-live-from-capelton-hill-2">Stars plays a Bandcamp Live-streaming set at 5PM on May 27</a>.</p> <p style="line-height: 18.0pt;margin:0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;">Set list: “Build a Fire”, “Capelton Hill”, "Patterns"</p> <p>Watch "Build a Fire":</p>
