Video: Stars: "Window Bird"
This video probably isn't official, but it's hard to resist stuffed animals. Stars' Amy Millan takes over for lead vocals from bandmate Torquil Campbell on "Window Bird", off of the Canadian indie-pop outfit's latest, In Our Bedroom After the War. The video for "Take Me to the Riot", also from the new album, showed a young man moving to the city, and at first this clip looks like it might run parallel-- except with a cuddly toy in the dude's place. As Millan sings softly over an emotive, guitar-based arrangement, the stuffed animal goes on adventures not only in the city, but also in the country, at the beach, on the road, over a cold beer...pretty much anyplace you'd like to see a stuffed animal while listening to Stars. The coda still comes out of nowhere, though.
