Release Notes:
Oceans Will Rise is the third album by Montreal band The Stills. In late 2007,
Toronto, Canada-based record label Arts & Crafts signed the band to a worldwide
recording deal. Once again working with producer Gus van Go, The Stills' new
material, beginning with the anthemic lead single, "Being Here," conveys a
rejuvenated, reinvigorated sense of being. According to vocalist Tim Fletcher,
the group felt "a raw energy of inspiration" during the new album's recording
efforts that was absent in previous sessions. "The Stills are back back back!" -

Montreal's the Stills are nothing like Interpol, but like those New York City
suit-wearing hipsters, the Stills launched their career with a stately post-punk
sound inspired by the likes of Echo & the Bunnymen and Joy Division. Having
known one another since the age of 12, vocalist Tim Fletcher, drummer Dave
Hamelin, guitarist Greg Paquet, and bassist Oliver Crowe played in various bands
before forming the Stills in 2000. These art school students temporarily left
their beloved Canada for a two-month stay in N.Y.C. to design a lush, swarthy
pop style with the help of a four-track recorder. A deal with Vice followed
before the year's end; however, joint shows with the Music, the Rapture, the
Streets, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were what cemented the Stills a dominating spot
among the ever-changing rock scene.
The Rememberese EP appeared in June 2003, while stateside dates with Interpol
followed that fall. Logic Will Break Your Heart marked The Stills' full-length
debut in October, and the band spent time touring the U.K. and North America
before heading into the studio to record a second album in late 2004. Founding
member Greg Paquet announced his departure from the lineup the following year,
and drummer Dave Hamelin responded to the change by switching roles and filling
Paquet's spot on guitar. Touring keyboardist Liam O'Neil and Sea Ray drummer
Colin Brooks were also added to the lineup. The resulting Without Feathers,
released in 2006, was something of a departure for the group, relying less on
new wave and post-punk and more on rootsy, '70s heartland rock (Hamelin also
became the band's co-frontman, sharing vocal duties with Fletcher). 2008's
Oceans Will Rise saw the Stills stretching their boundaries even further, this
time incorporating sonic experimentalism and uplifting, anthemic rock.
