There Is No Love in Fluorescent Light by Stars

There Is No Love in Fluorescent Light, the eighth studio album from Montreal's Stars, arrived on Last Gang Records on October 13, 2017, three years after No One Is Lost. The title reads like a verdict, but the band insisted it was nothing of the kind: in their telling it's a toast to love's sweet self-deceptions, the crush that blooms under buzzing office tubes, the way a good chorus can convince you for one breath that this might finally be it.

That's the Stars trick in miniature. Torquil Campbell, Amy Millan, Chris Seligman, Evan Cranley and Pat McGee are all still aboard, and the indie pop glows warm and a little bruised, lush enough to swoon to and sad enough to mean it. "Privilege" and "We Called It Love" went out as singles, and "Fluorescent Light" is the cut that reached the countdowns.
