News New Stills Album Out Aug. 19 Download two MP3s from the Canuck post-punkers' third studio album, entitled Oceans Will Rise. By William Goodman 5.29.08 6:55 PM
The Stills
After teasing us with a promising set at this past fall's Pop Montreal festival, Canadian quintet the Stills have finally revealed their much-anticipated third record: Oceans Will Rise, the follow-up to 2006's sophomore set Without Feathers, will flood North America Aug. 19 via the band's new label home, Arts&Crafts.
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; whether or not it was powerful enough to generate the kind of fire seen in the "Snake-Charming the Masses" music video is yet unconfirmed.

Oceans Will Rise with The Stills
The gold-leafed skull that graces the cover of the Stills' forthcoming album, Oceans Will Rise, is no subtle message.
Sure, it may have you feeling life is looking pretty grim as you contemplate how it's high time humanity quit choking itself to death on its wealth of snake oils while it continues to idle at consumption junction, but you just might smile because perhaps it's a sign that the angst- infused post-punk sound of The Stills is back.
Following up their acclaimed post-punk 2003 debut Logic Will Break Your Heart with a grand shift to the 2006 heartland-rock effort Without Feathers, many fans felt betrayed. This time it appears from the early Internet release of the tracks “Rooibos/Palm Wine Drunkard”, “Being Here” and the video release “Snake-charming the Masses” that the band has returned to a much-loved angrier sound.
