Indie popsters find niche in familiar post punk guitar pop

"The Stills are a Montreal indie rock band who write expertly woven melodies crafted in the familiar niche of swirly-80s-post-punksters like Echo & The Bunnymen or The Church, but add a unique neo-vibe which finds them comfortable next to say, Interpol or Bloc Party. This is their best release by far, every song heart-wrenchingly wrought forward with layered guitars and superb lyrics. If you like a comfortable mix of brit pop influence, a dash of romanticism and depression, finely crafted into guitar heavy pulsating riffs, then this is for you! Fans of The Walkmen rejoice--this is the better purchase of the two~this LP is packed full of college radio singles, including "Gender Bombs" and "Changes Are No Good.""

And im not even a huge indie rock fan

"i look down upon people who say "i like indie rock" but dont know the stills. and i hate the ones who list the killers and the strokes as their favorite "indie" band.



this album is the best of its genre. Simple but catchy rhythms, beautiful chords and layering, and smooth vocals. It has a upbeat yet melancholy, dreamy sound. Kind of an arty sound and aesthetic to it. lots of personality.



i hear the new one is mediocre but i love this album, most people who have heard it do."
