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.
