From pre-Milan days, an early EP "The Comeback EP" (2001), this is maybe one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Torquil is so good at writing sentimental, yet brilliant soft indie songs. Words can't describe how much I love this band right now! I forgot how good some of their old stuff is! Elevator Love letter is such a class song!
I had no idea Stars were releasing new material until the day of release, so this was a very nice little surprise. They really are an amazing band!!!! Here is the undoubted highlight of the EP, the lovely "14 Forever". They are one of the best live bands around, i feel privileged to have seen them in a 250 sized venue! If you like this then check out some of their old stuff, Set Yourself on Fire is one of the best albums of the 2000's!
Another of the best up and coming artists this year. She has one of the best voices in music, and amazingly she got every note spot on live. The lack of "Tap at My Window" and "New Romantic" were inconsequential, as she showed just how talented she is. I am hopeful for a new UK tour this autumn with a Sheffield date!
Its a sign of how good this band are, that they can be considered one of my highlights, even though i caught only half of their set (Marling clash). They are such a special band, deserving of much more credit than they get, and they are so good live. Torquil is so good with the crowd, and both him and Amy are brilliant live singers. They opened with Elevator Love Letter, a classic, moving onto Soft Revolution, which is simply stunning live. The BBC didnt cover their performance at all...
