Join Stars for a classic, coming-of-age tale: Bright-eyed ‘n’ stringy-haired kid takes the bus for his maiden voyage to the big city, where tacky marquees, scraggly old ladies, and pigeon infested sidewalks challenge his “excited,” preconceived notions of urban paradise. Until, of course, he runs into some affable hipsters and ends up at a Stars show. Hey, wait, cities really ARE awesome after all! But seriously kids, if you have to sleep on a laundromat stoop, at least bring a blanky.
As you’ll remember, Stars shook up the internet by shrewdly releasing their new LP In Our Bedroom After The War in digital form just a week-and-a-half after announcing its completion — but if you’ve been avoiding iTunes in wait for the physical release (9/25 via Arts & Crafts), you may have been a prescient decision: the band’s including a free 55-minute tour documentary DVD , entitled Are We Here Now?, with a limited number of CDs. Argh, mixed messages, Stars! But it looks cool. Check the trailer below.

Torq is totally channeling the Moz on this track.
The first time I heard it, I thought it was Morrissey.
this album is not good.
i agree with the above comment, i’ve been in denial about it saying i just need to get into in our bedroom after the war, but really only a few tracks draw me in and then i just don’t feel the rest.
that is easily the most engaging performance by a band in a music video ive ever seen. i could watch torq and amy for the whole video and not getbored.
i like this song :]
but album-wise, i much rather listen to “Set yourself on fire”
this was is just OKAY.
I just got into this band it is great to hear what a modern day indie “the smiths” would sound like. i dig it.
Aww he’s wearing a Dears shirt.
affable hipsters? believable!
The video is ok, but I didn’t like the song and I wanted to.
how does he sound like morrissey on this? i really do not get that.
pretty good video. could do without needless exposition bit at the beginning though.
Huh, never picked up on a Morrissey vibe before, but now I kind of do, esp at the end of his vocal phrasing. That little vibrato and then abrupt end.
This album though, I can’t get into it. Heart and Set Yourself wonderful, really engaging, fun, solid. This stuff just doesn’t grab me.
and I HATE the “attention single F” song. Ugh.
