I'm not sure what the band's moniker is referencing, be it the southern city, an ode to Elvis, or a nod to the architectual & design movement of the 80's??? Regardless, the band's second CD is a nice continuation of their gentle sound. It's becoming clearer who contributed what in the band Stars, as the members record solo. Unlike Amy Millan's trip to Southern Appalachia, Torquil Campbell's explorations seems much more authentic. It brings to mind the debut CD by Stars, Nightsongs. Nothing contrived, just simple and pure beauty of mood and vibe. Thank you for continuing the "Soft Revolution".

I have always beed a huge stars fan. When I heard the song I dreamed we fell apart, I knew I had to have this cd. The only downside to this cd is Amy isnt there with the stars harmony sound. That would have given it a 5, but since it ist a stars cd I cant really complain. Its simplistic and enjoyable and well crafted for most of the songs. I agree with the other reviewer before me but feel its unfair to say that Amy doesnt contribute to the stars songs. She put that cd out as a "solo" record so I would never expect it to sound like stars.

Anyways, if you are a fan of stars then don't pass this by. The 1st song alone is worth the price
