 Stars: Set Yourself on Fire: The 20th Anniversary Tour By all accounts, the process of creating Set Yourself On Fire, Stars’ third full-length album– for Arts & Crafts, home to their dear friends and sometime collaborators and bandmates Broken Social Scene– played like scenes from The Shining. During one of the coldest winters on record, the soft revolutionaries set up shop in a cabin offered to them by an odd man they’d met in a local pub, a chap named Alan Nicholls. Turned out he used to play in a classic Montreal garage band in the sixties and currently writes tunes for Robert Altman. Over the mixing board in his country home studio, there was a photo of Alan giving John Lennon a hug. While the snow fell outside, Stars nestled in their cocoon, drank rivers of booze, smoked things they shouldn’t, had bloody arguments, slid down icy hills on the bellies of their snowsuits, kissed and made up, and nearly went insane. They steeped themselves in Sam Cooke and the Super Furry Animals, hashcakes and champagne, DuMaurier Lights and library books, the Apostle of Hustle, and skating. Serious emo shit went down. When they were done letting themselves completely fall apart, Stars channeled all that cabin feverish intensity into writing brilliant songs. James Shaw, their old pal from Metric, showed up to help record some tracks. They think he survived unscathed
