This segment from Nov. 19, 2010, is part of ourVintage Cafeseries, in which we revisit some of our best studio performances.
Originally formed in Toronto in 1998, the indie-pop band Stars features singer Torquil Campbell, keyboardist Chris Seligman, singer-guitarist Amy Millan and bassist Evan Cranley. After the release of 2004's Set Yourself on Fire in the U.S., Stars became a huge buzz band for songs like "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead" and "Ageless Beauty."
The Five Ghosts provides a welcome return to Stars' enchanting sound: wrenching ballads lined with dance-pop grooves. And, as the title suggests, its sound conveys a sense of haunting mystery.
