It's ironic that if I had to tell you what The Stills sounded like, I would have to say that they sounded like a mixture of what Interpol is doing today, mixed with a lttle bit of what Echo and the Bunnymen were doing twenty years ago. Which is funny becuase Iíve seen The Stills live twice already, once when they opened for Interpol, and another when they opened for Echo and the Bunnymen. Go figure. It is also evident that The Stills are very familiar with The Cureís Boys Donít Cry album. There are a few songs here where itís almost impossible not to start singing the lyrics to ìJumping Someone Elseís Trainî or ì10:15 on a Saturday Nightî right over the top of the music that The Stills have created here. But there are two things on Logic that are very noteworthy. First, is Dave Hamelinís ferocious drumming. While watching these guys live or listening to this album, itís always the thing that pops right out at you. Second, is their single ìStill in Love Song.î By far the best song on the album, it stands out beyond the rest because of Oliver Croweís hot bass line duing the chrorus of
Tim Fletcherís bleating lament "Iím still in love!" If you're a person that just canít get enough of that dark new wave sound, then The Stills are definitely a band worth checking into.
