Stars Share Kevin Drew-Produced New Song “Are You With Me?”

Single Out Tomorrow via Last Gang

Nov 01, 2018 By Christopher Roberts Kevin Drew

Montreal indie-pop heroes Stars released a new album, There Is No Love In Fluorescent Light, in October 2017 via Last Gang. Back in March they shared brand new single, “Ship to Shore” (which was one of our Songs of the Week) and in June they shared a lyric video for another new song, “One Day Left.” Now they have returned with another standalone single, “Are You With Me?” Kevin Drew of fellow Canadians Broken Social Scene (who Stars’ Amy Millan often sings with) produced the song. The single is out tomorrow via Last Gang, but you can listen to it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Drew had this to say about the song in a press release: “My favorite Stars songs are the graveyard tunes. They are exceptional at capturing the drama and reality of losing someone while trying to save them at the same time. It was an honor to finally work with them.”

Stars collectively had this to say: “To work on a song with Kevin Drew reminded us all of what a beautiful person and brave artist he is, and why someone like Gord Downie trusted him to interpret his last music. Speaking of Gord, the words to this song came about after Torq spent one liquidy night sending text messages to Gord’s old cell phone number. It’s very difficult not to miss that guy, and sometimes you just want to send a message into the ether and hope he receives it. We’ve always used songs to communicate with ghosts. If you can think of a better method, let us know. We have a lot of ghosts we want to talk to…”
