[new]: Stars – Turn It Up

Montreal group Stars will return with their new album No One Is Lost on October 14 via ATO Records.

“From The Night” was the first single from the album and it features a killer 80s funk groove that is irresistible. They’ve since followed that up with a new track titled “Turn It Up” that they released as a free download as a “back to school” celebration of sorts.

They wrote:

The first day of school carries the fear, the thrill, the nerves and the new. Summer evaporates into hallways, lockers and knapsacks. Chances for gangs and that perfect crush. Hope you had a good one today kids. If you did, if you didn’t, close your eyes get your headphones on, lie on the floor and open your heart to September. No one is lost…so turn it up.

The track is more of a reflective wonder that takes an elegant turn for the better. It hits many levels of emotions, a better fit during last call than on the dancefloor.

Find streams of both “Turn It Up” (free download via the widget) and “From The Night” posted below, along with Stars upcoming tour dates which include a stop in New York on October 5 for the Modern Sky Festival.
