The Stills - Oceans Will Rise
Oceans Will Rise is the new album from a Canadian band called The Stills.
Hailing from Montreal, The Stills have recently signed to Arts & Crafts who have provided us with a long list of great bands.
The break out single, Being Here, has received a lot of radio play in Canada and gets a thumbs up from me. It’s energetic, interesting, and really catchy. Sure, it’s a pretty basic rock song, but it’s still good!
The rest of the album doesn’t really “wow” me. Some of the songs sound like they did a crossover with some other generic band from Montreal.
I can’t really recommend any other songs off this album, because none really stood out for me. This almost seems like a trend for The Stills - one good song that becomes popular, but the rest of the album fades away.
So, go listen to Being Here…but skip the rest of the album.
Sincerely,
BW.
