Stars - Theory of Relativity (Single Review)


With a new album, The North, due out on September 4th, Canadian indie-pop/rock band Stars have given fans a sneak preview of what to expect with the exciting new track “The Theory of Relativity”, which differs in sound to most of their recent previous work. In some ways it could be considered a throwback to the early 2001 album Nightsongs, which featured a more electro-pop style than following albums.



Bursting to life in a flurry of electo-pop, “The Theory of Relativity” maintains a powerful energy throughout, intertwining the catchy lyrics of Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan with strong, bassy synth sounds reminiscent of the 80’s to create an upbeat and genuinely entertaining listen. Whether or not the rise of a more electro style will be a theme consistent throughout the upcoming album or just a one off for this uniquely fun and entertaining track remains a mystery, and one that I hope (and feel) will be worth the wait to find out.

From the first listen, “The Theory of Relativity” has captivated my imagination and once again proven the talent, creativity and artistic range of a truly great indie band.
