Before the Juno and Polaris award nominations, before the anniversary tours of beloved albums that have become a cultural touchpoint for a particular generation, before the performances all around the world - there were just two guys in a small New York flat, converting their ailing dreams in their respective arts into gentle, heartfelt pop songs. Nightsongs is one of those kinds of debut albums where the gap between the artist then and the artist as we have come to know them is wide enough that the record is considered by most a historical curio before the real band begun (that this hasn't been reissued in a long, long time helps). Stars were officially just Torquill Campbell and Chris Seligman at this stage; Amy Milan makes a couple of vocal cameos but she's among a handful of guest vocalists, including the future Metric frontwoman Emily Haines, and wouldn't join the band fully until the record was more or less done and they wanted to throw a few gigs; one of the "bonus tracks"…
