Stars Write What They Know: C&C Custom Drums

If there’s one thing Canadian quintet Stars has been able to do for the entire duration of its 10-year run it’s make us sigh wistfully over beautifully crafted lyrics and gorgeous, blooming melodies. Since 2007’s In Our Bedroom After The War, the band members (many of whom moonlight as Broken Social Scene players) scattered for a while to work on some very un-Stars-like solo and side projects. However, rest assured that just-released fifth full-length, The Five Ghosts (Vagrant/Soft Revolution), is Stars still being heartbreakingly Stars, with an underlying theme of mortality featuring lyrics that focus on love in a “til death do us part” kind of way. Prepare to swoon when you see them play the album live on their tour of Europe and North America this fall. Evan Cranley, Torquil Campbell, Amy Millan, Chris Seligman and Patrick McGee are guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our Q&A with Cranley.

C&C

Patrick: C&C makes the best-sounding and best-looking drums of the modern day. Working out of a tin shed in an industrial park in Gladstone, Mo., the father-and-son team of Bill and Jake Cardwell have invented the new vintage. custom drums, incorporating classic vintage shell design in any size and colour you can dream up. These drums blow minds everywhere I go.
