Oceans Will Rise is the third album by Montreal band The Stills. The album was released on August 19, 2008.
In late 2007, Toronto-based record label Arts & Crafts signed the band to a worldwide recording deal. Once again working with producer Gus van Go, The Stills' new material, beginning with the anthemic lead single, "Being Here," conveys a rejuvenated, reinvigorated sense of being.[1]
According to vocalist Tim Fletcher, the group felt "a raw energy of inspiration" during the new album's recording efforts that was absent in previous sessions.[2] Two tracks, "Being Here" and "Rooibos/Palm Wine Drinkard," were first available for download via Spin Magazine's website.
Oceans Will Rise was awarded a Juno Award (Canada's music awards) for Alternative Album of the Year during the 2009 Juno Awards Gala on Saturday, March 28th, 2009.
