Do You Trust Your Friends?
Artist: Stars
Arts & Crafts | November 16, 2010 | Compact Disc
Released two years after 2005's well-received SET YOURSELF ON FIRE, the Canadian indie-pop band Stars unveiled DO YOU TRUST YOUR FRIENDS?, a reworking of the earlier album with each track either remixed or covered by another act (including fellow members of the loose Broken Social Scene collective). Highlights of the collection include Minotaur Shock's spare mix of "The Brightest Light," which calls more attention to Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan's hushed vocals, and the Stills' rendition of "Soft Revolution," a version that turns the expansive original into a dark mood piece.
