Bob's Pick #1.

Stars - The Five Ghosts

Probably the most played album of the year for me. Other albums provided songs that got heavier rotation, but no album was played in its entirety more than this Toronto band's latest album. The gorgeous voice of Amy Millan (yet another member of Broken Social Scene - there's a lot of them) mixes wonderfully with male vocalist Torquil Campbell and together they sing not only catchy, but sophisticated pop songs over ringing guitars and atmospheric effects. There's elements of soul, electro pop, 70's pop and 90's alternative music, but it combines into their own sound.
