Album Review: Logic Will Break Your Heart by The Stills

Being touted by some fanciful onlookers as potentially "the perfect pop band", this Montreal four-piece play punchy guitar-rock that manages to evoke both wide open spaces and dank, neurotic claustrophobia. The dozen tracks on this debut find the combo darting from the brusque thump-and-jangle of Lola Stars and Stripes to the scintillating pace of Alison Krauss (some oblique bluegrass joke here perhaps?), before wrapping things up with the suspiciously chirpy strains of Yesterday Never Tomorrow. Guitar connoisseurs will find much to admire, such as the ringing drones and chimes of Gender Bombs or the whining overdriven racket on Changes Are No Good, while Of Montreal gives the lads a chance to experiment with eerie discords and harmonies over a massive drumbeat.
