Oceans Will Rise, released on August 19, 2008, turned out to be the third and last album from Montreal's the Stills. Toronto's Arts & Crafts had signed them to a worldwide deal late in 2007, and they went back to producer Gus Van Go for sessions that singer Tim Fletcher said crackled with an energy their earlier ones had lacked.
You can hear the band splitting the difference between its own past: the moody, stylized '80s sheen of their early records and the looser, warmer, more earthbound feel of Without Feathers, a balance Pitchfork pointed out too. "Being Here" got an early airing as a download on Spin's website, and "I'm With You" later turned up in a Canadian beer commercial. The album won the Juno for Alternative Album of the Year in March 2009, a fine parting gift from a band that was about to call it a day.
