Oceans Will Rise is the third and most recent album by Montreal band The Stills, released 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.

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. 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 for 'Alternative Album of the Year' during the 2009 Juno Awards Gala on March 28, 2009.

The track "Everything I Build" was featured in the 2009 ABC television series Defying Gravity episode "Rubicon". The track "I'm With You" was featured in an Alexander Keith's beer commercial in Canada.
