Artists of effortlessly accessible complication, on Set Yourself On Fire Stars took our worst fears–both personal and global–and slayed the anxieties with their perfect pop music. Widely lauded as amongst their most ambitious, accomplished, and affecting works of their storied existence, Stars’ Set Yourself On Fire (20th Anniversary Edition) carries the torch of the magical songs that have set so many hearts alight.
The album drew international praise from the likes of Pitchfork, The Guardian, NME, Rolling Stone, Q, Entertainment Weekly, and SPIN amongst many others. The album, also regaled across Canadian music press, was nominated for Alternative Album of The Year at the JUNO Awards in 2005, and was certified Platinum in 2006. SYOF has seen continued praise and recognition at its 10th & 15th year anniversary marks–a true testament to the album’s staying power. Add to that a longstanding reverence for the way Torquil's father Douglas Campbell's voice ushers in the timeless, anthemic words “when there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire” at the opening of “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead”; the now iconic phrase in the band’s discography was a telltale & powerful beginning for Stars on that album, as well as decades & decades later. The continued love & fervor for this record & the band’s extensive discography–alongside the many career accomplishments from continuous releases to international tours & festivals, to theatrical stages–all attest to the power of Stars.
