Sunny day without a deathly melting feeling? This calls for a playlist perfect for outdoor hang sessions!
Tune in and turn it up.
To help make your Monday a little extra awesome.
Canadian indie-pop band Stars released a beautiful new track titled ‘Hold On When You Get Love and Let Go When You Give It.’ The song is from their upcoming album The North, set for a release on September 4th.
The musical styling of Stars flows right in the vein of such mercurially ethereal bands as Sigur Ros, all with the wistful spirit of the Smiths (albeit more optimistic). Lyrics like “Take the weakest thing in you/And then beat the bastards with it” give the song an upbeat vibe that the band has perfected.
With the release of this latest single, it seems like Stars will only be strengthening their unique, uplifting pop catalogue.
