Stars: Do You Trust Your Friends?

Canadian records label Arts & Crafts will release a new album containing reworked material from the Stars last LP Set Yourself On Fire.

Via Billboard:

Members of Broken Social Scene, the Dears, Junior Boys, the Stills and Metric are among the artists reworking every song from Stars' 2004 album "Set Yourself on Fire." The project is dubbed "Do You Trust Your Friends?" and is due May 22 via Arts & Crafts.

"We're hoping that they will bring us something that will make us look at the songs a little differently," Stars principal Torquil Campbell told Billboard.com about the concept in 2005. "And they are all people who listened to the record a lot and are all close friends of ours, so it's kind of an interesting experiment from our point of view. It's kind of like saying to your friends, 'If you were going to decorate our apartment, how would you do it? Using all of the things that are in there, how would you rearrange the furniture and what color would you paint the walls?'"

Here's the video for "Your Ex-lover Is Dead":
