ThunderRadio music review: Stars
With Band: Stars
Album: Set Yourself on Fire
Label: Arts & Crafts, 2005
Grade: A
After much consideration for the first ever ThunderRadio music review, I came to the conclusion that this review should consist of an essential album. The best, in my opinion, of 2005 is Set Yourself on Fire by Stars.
This year I compiled a list of the top 74 albums of 2005. The Stars’ album rang in at the No. 1 spot. The album came out in March of 2005, and was the third full-length album from these Canadian natives.
Their music is a lush blend of vocalists Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan harmonizing and reminiscing of times past on an intricate dream-pop soundscape. The sound is one to be remembered and leaves a lasting impression and a yearning for more. For the full “best of 2005 list” by Paul Sobczak and other ThunderRadio DJs, see www.ThunderRadio.fm
For more great music, listen to NDSU’s student radio station 105.9 FM ThunderRadio “The Rumble in your Radio.”
