The Stars Return!

Well the Stars are always out there, but Canadian indie-pop band Stars are getting set to return in 2010 with new album The Five Ghosts being released June 22 on their own label Soft Revolution Records. It's their first new album since 2007's In Our Bedroom After the War.  Boy does time fly, feels like that was a new release I was reviewing just the other day. Didn't realize how much I missed the Stars till I heard new single "Fixed" premiered on Stereogum. Her voice is always so lovely and their music so good. Can't wait for the album!

They are gonna be doing a tour in June were they will be performing the new album in it's entirety with the encore tracks to be chosen by fans. Ageless Beauty, Ageless Beauty, they gotta play that one! Vote on their site here. They also do an amazing cover of "This Charming Man" by The Smiths. Hopefully that will be one of the encores as well.

Check out the new track, album tracklisting and tour dates below.... They're also gonna be performing at Lollapalooza this year in August if your going up to Chicago for that. They're right smack in the middle of the line-up.
