If you’re gonna feel (which you will) then feel big. Go all in. Thats the feels I get from Stars, the super group which was part of the supergroup trend of the early 00s in Canada. What a time - all the feels. It wasn’t that the world was great then, we just had to imagine it so. Stars were of that imagination and now Noble Oak covers ‘Elevator Love Song’ which obv indicates the Stars had legs. This cover is to mark the 20th anniversary of Last Gang Records which is also of that heady time of Torontopia-isms, which also gave me legs again.
Noble Oak’s take on Stars’ “Elevator Love Letter” will be released as part of a 20th anniversary compilation from Last Gang Records later this year, along with Maia Friedman’s take on Metric’s “Love Is A Place,” Low Hum’s reinterpretation of Death From Above 1979’s “Romantic Rights,” Alice Ivy’s take on MSTRKRFT’s “Easy Love,” Dear Boy’s cover of Metric’s “Combat Baby,” Anand Wilder’s take on the New Pornographer’s ‘Challengers” and Cadence Weapon and Dan Only’s reinterpretation of Purity Ring’s “Ungirthed.”
