In Our Bedroom After the War, the fourth album from Montreal's Stars, came out on Arts & Crafts in 2007, first as a digital release on July 10, rushed out to beat a leak, and then in stores on September 25. Cut in Vancouver, with Joe Chiccarelli handling the mix in Toronto, it's the band at their most theatrical: frontman Torquil Campbell said the aim was a record meant to be heard front to back as a single story rather than a pile of songs, and it swoons and swells accordingly.
"Take Me to the Riot" led off the singles in a surging, glittery rush, "The Night Starts Here" followed, and "Bitches in Tokyo" found its way onto the countdowns too. Author Daniel Handler wrote a story for the liner notes and squeezes an accordion on "Barricade", early copies came with Are We Here Now?, a DVD documentary from the Set Yourself on Fire tour, and the album was nominated for the 2008 Polaris Music Prize.
