“Sometimes, in my experience, you write things that are yet to happen but eventually do, like premonition hymns,” Millan says. So as long as we have that, nobody is going anywhere.”įrom Capelton Hill has the band battling the depression many of us faced as we faded through the murky waters of the pandemic, but as with most of Stars’ work, the songs are pieces of hopeful, if not cheery indie pop. And we have red-faced laughing fits at every rehearsal. “Honestly, more than the ‘creative fire,’ it’s the laughs,” says singer/multi-instrumentalist Amy Millan. So the creative spark from 22 years ago, when they all gathered in a room and started making music in 1999, is still at the very essence of a Stars song. You have to remember that this is a band that grew up together, cut their teeth in the music industry alongside their friends, bands like Metric and Broken Social Scene. The indie pop/rock band Stars has been making celestial tunes for 22 years, and despite their upcoming album From Capelton Hill being somewhat of a sonic chronicle of their time as a band, the fire is far from being extinguished.
