"The Five Ghosts"-Stars


It's been awhile kidos but I'm back and for once it's not metal/punk/grind/music that makes your ears bleed. Canadian veterans Stars have come out with a new album "The Five Ghosts" and it is well worth a listen. Stars decided to go with what they're good at, epic and beautifully melodic well-written tunes that would work as well on the dance floor as they would coming through your head-phones. The haunting dual vocals, especially the voice of Amy Milan. This album belongs to Amy: her voice is beautiful but has a confidence to it that is both sexy and terrifying, a girl you don't want to fall in love with cause she's too much for you but that's the exact reason you're falling for her. And without further swooning, Saucy's picks: "Dead Hearts" is a great opener, "Fixed" is my favorite track of the album and is probably the reason for my quasi-romantic love of Amy's voice, "He Dreams He's Awake" should be in the closing credits of an awesome movie, and "Winter Bones" is a solid finish for a solid album.
