“STARS takes it one step further, intensifying their indie-pop wizardry.” - Filter

 

“On their magnificent The Five Ghosts...from the opener “Dead Hearts” through to the standout “I Died So I Could Haunt You” and the ghostly sounds on “He Dreams He’s Awake” the interaction of corporeal and the ethereal is the dominant theme.” - Elle Canada

 

“The album is chock full of sweeping beats, echoing falls and lingering trills and the listener is trapped by the chase and the ghost-like vocals” - Zink

 

Canada’s beloved STARS have announced a cross-country tour in support of their new studio album, The Five Ghosts, which was released in stores Monday, June 21. The fall tour will begin October 20 in Kingston ON, and will sweep westward toward the final show in Vancouver on November 4. As well, STARS will be performing at a number of festivals this summer, including Osheaga, the Ottawa Blues Fest, Calgary Folk Fest, and Hillside in Guelph, with Lollapalooza confirmed for August.

 

STARS recently wrapped a North American pre-release tour where they played The Five Ghosts in its entirety from start to finish, coupled with an encore set of tracks selected each night, by their fans. 

 

The new album, The Five Ghosts, is being offered in Standard or Deluxe Editions and even an incredible Limited Edition box set for hardcore fans. All various incarnations of The Five Ghosts can be seen at www.youarestars.com
