Stars

Stars is a band from Canada. Originally formed in Toronto by vocalist Torquil Campbell and keyboardist Chris Seligmano, the band relocated to New York City and then subsequently to Montreal.

All members of the band are also members of the indie band Broken Social Scene, with whom they once shared a record label, Arts & Crafts.

Stars' music has been described as "beautiful, eloquent indie pop", characterized by lush instrumentation, nimble production and mixing, narrative lyrics, and soft but nuanced vocals. The band's style has evolved from an electronic-pop sound as heard on Nightsongs (released on Le Grand Magistery record label) to more rock-based instrumentation on their following three full-length albums, reflecting the permanent additions of singer-guitarist Amy Millan and bassist Evan Cranley on Heart (released on Paper Bag Records), and eventually drummer Pat McGee on Set Yourself on Fire.

Songs have been featured on the Fox television show The O.C.
