Track of The Day- Still In Love Song By The Stills

Well, ladies and gentlemen, Valentine's day is around the corner. So, this entry and this particular track suit the upcoming days enough right? The Stills, yes... this Canadian indie-rock Band have active in music scene since 2000. This track, Still In Love Songs is debut on their first EP, Remeberese in the year .

The Stills line up:
  • Tim Fletcher
  • Dave Hamelin
  • Liam O'Neil
  • Oliver Corbeil


The Stills will inevitably be compared to Joy Division and Echo & the Bunnymen as long as they continue making songs like "Still in Love Song." The Montreal-born foursome find themselves crafting a modern sound derivative of '80s post-punk on their debut release, Rememberese, and it's lovelorn and romantic in all the right spots. This four-song EP is a nice introduction to the band's lush, dream pop-inspired stylings and a decent prequel to their studio full-length. Frontman Tim Fletcher is a vocal darling, particularly on the gorgeously designed "Still in Love Song." Another track, "Killer Bees" is equally tantalizing with its structured, dark melodies. The rattling guitars of Greg Paquet carry this divine romancer, while drummer Dave Hamelin shows his sentimental side on the gauzy number "Talk to Me." But most of all, this track have shown their capabilities beyond from what i expected.



The Stills aren't aiming to fit into the fashionably cool N.Y.C. scene, and despite them being praised by Interpol, they don't want to be categorized as sound-alikes either. Well, who could blame them, right? The Stills will have to work a little harder if they want to prove everyone otherwise, but Rememberese is definitely on the right track. This track is full with moody mix of cavernously reverberated vocals, thundering drums and driving bass, laced with high drama and bristling with the kind of dark, agitated energy which has evoked comparisons with Joy Division and Interpol.

p/s - it's always a pleasure to hear 80's post punk-indie rock sound vibrating insanely through my ears!
*the video is quite bad..but the audio is okay.
