the new stars record (in our bedroom after the war) has leaked, and it is (sort of, i can’t decide) excellent. “the night starts here” is a particularly awesome musical soundscape that sounds kind of like a flowery wasteland of rolling meadows and military corpses and landmines of love. kind of, though, this album is a little more relaxed and coffee-housey than anything they have released before. but other parts are ttly not really coffee-housey at all. “bitches in tokyo” is a rad, upbeat saddy jam that kinda makes me want to sit outside in the rain on a warm afternoon. and “window bird” is kind of blonde redheadish, sort of. warning: listen to the album at least three or four times before you make up your mind.
