Stars’ music has been described as “beautiful, eloquent indie pop”characterized by lush instrumentation, nimble production and mixing, narrative lyrics, and soft but nuanced vocals. The band’s style has evolved from an electronic-pop sound as heard on Nightsongs to more rock-based instrumentation on their following three full-length albums, reflecting the permanent additions of singer-guitarist Amy Millan and bassist Evan Cranley on Heart and eventually drummer Pat McGee on Set Yourself on Fire.

DILLY DALLY – ” Candy Mountain ” and ” Green “
Posted: November 6, 2014 in MUSICTags: Canada, Dilly Dally, Grunge, Indie. Rock, Katie Monk
Dilly Dally is a band rooted in Newmarket, Ontario. The band consists of Katie Monks, Liz Ball, Mike Giuliani and Corey Marshall.
The Canadian group Dilly Dally exude a combination of nonchalance and expertly-concealed nervousness. Their songs are bloody-knuckled marvels, big, hammering numbers that are grainy and gritty and yet still centered around clear and cunning pop melodies. The reference points are all late ’90s – there are nods to Nirvana and L7 in both the charred scrap metal guitars and Katie Monks’s roaring, blown-throat vocals. Their force and power was breathtaking, the sound of a band discovering itself in real-time and reveling in the possibilities.
