Canadian indie-poppers Stars have put their new album, In Our Bedroom After the War, up for legal download — even though it’s not officially due until September 25 — and their label, Arts & Crafts, is totally cool with it. A post on the label’s site reads: “We hope you’ll choose to support the band, and choose to pay for their album. However, we don’t think it’s fair you should have to wait until September 25 to do so. We believe that the line between the media and the public is now completely grey. What is the difference between a writer for a big glossy music magazine and a student writing about their favourite bands on their blog? … As such, we are making the new Stars album available for legal download today, four days after its completion. … We hope you will continue to support music retailers should a physical album in all its packaged glory be your choice of format.” The band hits the road in support of the release starting October 17 in South Burlington, Vermont.
