Another Form of Relief

It’s hard to believe that this song is seven years old. For some reason I still tend to regard Stars as a rather new band, but that certainly isn’t the case anymore. Way back in 2001, Stars based their sound far more electronica than the full band setup they use today. While I’d usually welcome that kind of change, Stars are one of the rare bands where the electronic suits them perfectly. On Peak Hill combines this sound with their now standard nostalgic, mournful lyrics, leaving a song that despite being seven years old, hasn’t dated at all.
