“I think if you listen to our records, they come at different points in your life. When people say to me that Stars records have themes, I think what they mean is we write songs - or try to write songs - that are timeless. We try to write songs that catch you at the right time in your life, and that you can hold on to. We write kitchen sink songs. If you're doing the dishes or you're driving to your mom's funeral, or if you're getting over having done MDMA and you feel sad, you can listen to Stars because we're not going to demand of you that you be cool.” PeopleIfsThinkingFeelsWritingTryingMeanDifferentDoneSongStarsRecordsMomDemandDrivingKitchenThemeFuneralDishesTimelessRight TimeYour MomBeing CoolKitchen Sinks Author:Torquil Campbell
