Review

On its unexpectedly great debut album, Logic Will Break Your Heart, this Montreal four-piece managed to gracefully update the kohl-eyed new wave drama of bands such as the Psychedelic Furs and Echo and the Bunnymen. With the follow-up, the Stills look to inspiration from a more unlikely source: flannel-wearing, bagpipe-blowing, mullet-wearing '80s Scottish rockers, Big Country. No, really. The opening track and first single from Without Feathers, "In The Beginning," sounds like a distant slightly inbred cousin of ATV anthem "Fields of Fire." Coincidence? Perhaps. Meanwhile, a severe line-up change has left the Stills devoid of much of its original edge, as evidenced in sleepy, inspiration-free tracks like "In The End" and the doggedly mid-tempo "The House We Live In." Those that were reeled in by the last disc are in for bitter disappointment. But for, say, Simple Minds fans, it's another banner day. --Aidin VaziriOn their second release, Montreal's The Stills are back with a refreshed outlook and bold new take on their unique sound. Songwriter and drummer Dave Hamelin dropped his drumsticks to share vocal and guitar duties with Tim Fletcher. Also, touring keyboardist Liam O'Neil is now a permanent member, adding classic Hammond organ and lush piano to the new sound. Re-invigorated, the band invited friends and fellow Canadians to plug in and contribute. The resulting album is fearless, filled with brutally honest songwriting and a big, organic rock sound. Neil Young might have called this the "ragged glory" of a pop-rock band. Gone are the boys. This album has stubble.
