A while back I reviewed the wonderful (sort of) newly released Stars record entitled In Our Bedroom After the War. Arts and Crafts really “got it” with this one I think, releasing the album on digital outlets early to combat the leak rather than freaking out and trying to sue people. I personally plan on picking up a physical copy for this very reason, as should you if you haven’t picked it up by now, it’s available on CD and beautiful vinyl now, and it’s an amazing record.
I love how fearless Torquil, Milan and co. have become on this effort. They’re totally unashamed of having a Prince song, an eighties synth ballad, a Morrisey song, and blatantly-theatrical, haunting epics on the same record, and it totally works.

It’s very good. It’s really a shame that they had to release it early.
