New Music: The Stills: "Rooibos/Palm Wine Drinkard" (MP3/Stream)
It's only been two years since the Stills went Without Feathers , but it feels like much longer. In 2003, these Canadian underdogs were generally written off as diluting trendy post-punk influences, but five years later, their debut, Logic Will Break Your Heart, actually sounds a bit prophetic, predicting blog faves like Cold War Kids and Tokyo Police Club. Whether that redeems or damns them ...
