Montréal's heartbreak kids, Stars, are marking their tenth anniversary and have just released their fifth album, The Five Ghosts. The quintet (yes, they're fascinated by the number 5) have also become the proud owners of their very own label, Soft Revolution Records. The band, which is part of the extended Broken Social Scene family, dropped by Studio A not long ago to chat with WFUV's Rita Houston and they performed three songs from their new album, including "I Died So I Could Haunt You" and "Dead Hearts," plus one old favorite, "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead." Notice a theme?
