The Stills: A video of Love & Death and Broken Social Scene

The Stills have made a video. They have released it. Get it here.

Those Montreal lovelies The Stills, have made a video for Love and Death, from their ruddy great debut album _Logic Will Break Your Heart. Watch it HERE

The video is directed by Chris Grismer, of Arcade Fire and Death From Above video fame.

The video also features a cameo from Emily Haine of Broken Social Scene, which reinforces the indie-goss rumour that the two bands have become firm friends. The two bands have been known to join each other on stage, with drummer Justin taking over the beats while Stills drummer/songwriter Dave Hemlin takes to the mike and sings _Yesterday Never Tomorrow.

The Stills are busy at home working on their next record and there should be a new single out in the summer. On the record there will be a new drummer, as Dave, who wrote many of the songs on ‘Logic’ will be playing more guitar, keys and singing.

Love and death is the best thing on the album by a mile

Re: The Stills a video of Love & Death and Broken

And is Emily Haine the one that sings on Anthems for a seventeen year old girl??

I love this song ... and pretty much the whole album.

that album was really fucking good wasn't it? this fact reoccurs to me every few months or so.

Re: The Stills a video of Love & Death and Broken

Yes, and she's also lead singer for the very awesome Metric.

Re: The Stills a video of Love & Death and Broken

Yeah. I love Anthems, I think it's probably my favourite song on You Forgot It In People.
This Stills song's quite cool, I prefer Lola Stars And Stripes and Gender Bombs though. Might get the album at some point.

Re: The Stills a video of Love & Death and Broken

Damn right. A lot of people kinda write them off.

I was just thinking about them the other day in fact.

Re: The Stills a video of Love & Death and Broken

Also, your weblog makes me both laugh and nod my head in agreement.

Re: The Stills a video of Love & Death and Broken

The album seems to lose momentum in the middle a bit, although thats probably because the first 4 tracks are so good.

Re: The Stills a video of Love & Death and Broken

well thats jsut great, thanks. i need to do an update, but i've been all ill and stuff.

Just about every song they've written is catchy and magestic which is rare for any band. It's true that logic's middle section takes some getting into but once into it it hooks you. Their ep rememberese features the great tracks killer bees and talk to me and they wrote a really catchy french tune called retour a vega for the movie, wicker park. Why arent their singles hits, I'll never know.

and the effin killers think one of the worst things to be is to be the stills. geez, the killers can only dream to be half as good as The Stills. this band is good, i cant wait to hear what they will do next. i too wonder why nobody seems to appreciate them much.

Never heard a bad word said against the Stills. "Logic..." is just a magnificent album.

Re: The Stills: A video of Love & Death and Broken Social Scene

"i too wonder why nobody seems to appreciate them much."
I think this thread after 12hours shows that they do have a lotta fans. And also seeing them at Reading and also in Iceland to rooms full of people singing every word last year does make me wonder how come they've not been allowed that extra kick into the syrupy mainstream.

Re: The Stills a video of Love & Death and Broken Soci

Yeah, totally agree with that. Stands out by a long way. Especially when the high-hat kicks in... great stuff.

Love Broken Social Scene, can't stand The Stills. there, I've got it off my chest...

I love them both. Great debut records. Looking forward to their new stuff and seeing them play together, hopefully.

Re: The Stills: A video of Love & Death and Broken

Debut records?? As in Feel good lost for BSS?? Never managed to get into that myself...

Amazing band....last time I saw them live they we're too drunk to finish the set and the vocalist left the stage after repeating the words: "I'm a fucking mess right now...I'm really sorry...I'm a mess...."
Despite the bad show, they still write amazing songs. That record was clearly one of the best of the year.

I'd never heard of The Stills till I seen an interview with The Killers and they mentioned them. I have to say, The Killers have headlined countless amounts of festivals, sold out every concert, and sold millions of albums. Who are the Stills? I'm not saying anything bad about them, as I just listened to 'Don't Talk Down' and theres nothing wrong with it. But to say "The Killers Can Only Dream To Be Half As Good" just isn't true.

^ Actually, it is true (IMO of course). Also, I disagree that popularity always = better. Case in point: jonas brothers, miley cyrus, the twilight franchise. The Stills are pretty big in Canada and have toured 5x with KOL, opened for McCartney etc but I'm not too surprised you haven't heard of them. Personally, I think that artistically the Stills are better, Logic will Break Your Heart really grows on you until you don't want to listen to anything else. Plus their lead singer and the rest of the band are known to be incredibly nice and non-pretentious guys, as oppposed to Flowers, a colossally insecure douchebag who rips on other bands to mask his own feelings of inadequacy. Tim Fletchers voice is way better, and you can't judge the two bands properly if you've only heard 1 song vs 3 albums worth. Love & Death or Lola Stars and Stripes beats Somebody Told Me any day.
