'From Capelton Hill' finds Stars reconnecting with their past to comfort their anxiety about the future. Read avparnell's review:
Canadian indie-pop mainstays Stars have always been preoccupied with the passage of time. “Your Ex-Lover is Dead,” their breakout hit from the 2004 release, considers the oddness of a chance encounter with an old lover after years apart. “All of that time you thought I was sad, I was trying to remember your name,” marvels vocalist Torquil Campbell—a consideration of the strange way time and healing can fade painful memories into nothing at all.
Meanwhile, “Pretenders,” a romp through ‘80s production and memories of a reckless youth, reflects on growing old with affection and honesty. “All our bets on being young forever,” Millan recalls warmly of the band’s origins. Her memories of hopping turnstiles and going to dive bars interlace with synths and guitars that suggest both Chrissy Hynde’s titular band and The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven,” a fitting homage to nostalgic favorites.
Later, on “Patterns,” Millan reflects on the strength that their connection has created. “What I wouldn’t do for you,” she calls, alongside imagery of drowning and walking for miles before stumbling through doorways with exhaustion. The pop hyperbole creates familiar heightened stakes—this is the band behind “In Our Bedroom After the War,” after all—that are beautifully channeled to reflect back on Stars’ legacy.feels unfocused.
The answer, Stars conclude, is the act of creating memories in the first place. “Just being together for 20 years is a piece of art in and of itself,” remarks Campbell of the band’s time together, a sentiment that’s supported in “Capelton Hill”’s refrain, “I told you we were here to sing / I told you we were meant to keep each other company.
