Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Although the clipped chimes of Greg Paquet's guitars beg justifiable comparisons to Interpol, Logic Will Break Your Heart defies lazily bandied similarities to the Smiths and Echo and the Bunnymen. Montreal's the Stills may sound glum and painfully introspective but vocalist Tim Fletcher speaks softly while carrying an admirably large literate stick, the band wrapping up his eloquently expressed worldly disgust in the sort of thrilling, glossily ostentatious rock panoramas that are anathema to the cheapskate production values of today's alt-rock proletariat. Beneath the polish lies plenty of spit--"Gender Bombs" and "Love and Death" ratchet up the thrills with repeated listens. Time and concentration spent with Logic Will Break Your Heart will deliver rich dividends. --Kevin Maidment

Sublime and uplifting, the debut album from The Stills is a real pleasure. Mixing the sounds of Interpol, The Strokes and The Cure with the lyrical beauty of The Doves this is a polished and impressive 49minutes.
Jangly guitars, tuneful bass and soaring choruses are commonplace in an album that manages pounding pop (Still In Love Song, Lola Stars and Stripes) just as well as tearful anthems (Let's Roll).
It's great to hear a band putting emotion and energy into a debut album rather than rushing out an LP of fillers. It's an album of real heart and emotion and as such a very promising start indeed.

The Stills managed to deliver black yet bright music on this bold and ravishing album, with intelligent and insightful lyrics ("Changes..., "Gender Bombs"). The outstanding performance and blending of the rhythm section, with fantastic bass lines ("Still in Love Song", an updated version originally released in the Rememberese EP) keeps a good balance with the marvellous guitar riffs and progressions of the likes of "Changes are no Good" and "Love and Death" which are reminiscent of Echo and the Bunnymen, The Devlins, and James' Whiplash cinematic atmospheres. This band is as good as Interpol and Longwave, with a more balanced production on the debut album. Such a band will likely deliver an even better second installment.

Expect big things from this band in 2004. Their debut album is simply stunning, track 2 "Gender Bombs" is a real gem. In fact all 12 tracks are great, all different in their own way. Like a best friend, you'll grow to love and treasure this album, because I did and believe you me it's worth keeping hold of.
A rewarding experience.
