Wooden Stars - People Are Different

With close male/female harmonies over peppy, straightforward tunes, Ottawa’s the Wooden Stars mine a familiar indie-pop territory, hearkening back to bands like the Blake Babies and Glass Eye. Their originality shines through when they bust out with the nakedly emotional stuff, like the pretty waltz “The Last Secret Infirmary” and the cathartic “Blackouts.” The song “Microphones” is another stand-out, combining post-rock angularity with a pure pop chorus.
