Junkie Jukebox: the Stills

Stillmatic

by ANDY VIHSTADT

The Stills are getting ready to drop their third LP via Arts & Crafts later this summer. Here’s how the Montreal quintet describes it (in one long run-on sentence):

It is about the world we have seen and been through in the past several years, and all the beautiful, painful, wasted, joyful, smeared-sky, sick blissful wandering it has led us on, on the trail of some prey, on the brink of something huge, tiny and helpless, all you can feel is the whole universe shaking to its limit just that tiny bit more every split-split trillisecond, you can almost hear it happening in tiny detail if you hold your breath in long enough, little cracks and ancient glacier ice-whining.

Grab a couple tracks from the forthcoming Oceans Will Rise (out August 19) thanks to Indie Blog Heaven.
