Free Music Notes for Broken Social Scene Presents: Kevin Drew Spirit If...
Free Music Review: addictive
Hit: 5 Stars
Broken Social Scene is one of the best bands currently playing, but they are relatively unknown because they are not on a major label. If you like Radiohead and Coldplay but are willing to experiment a little, you owe it to yourself to listen to this band. They create some of the most beautiful, melodic, absorbing musical soundscapes I have ever heard. This album, like their other albums, is no exception. It is a highly addictive listening experience.
Broken Social Scene Presents: Kevin Drew Spirit If... Poster
Spirit If... is the first in a series of "Broken Social Scene Presents" albums. This solo effort from Kevin Drew unfolds like an emotional comic book. Drew's songwriting addresses all his favourite topics: fucking, fighting, fearing and hope. Both Drew and Brendan Canning, the two co-founders of Broken Social Scene, decided to approach making records as solo projects. In the process, the social scene community participated, playing key supporting roles, returning to the creative process that was the initial spark for BSS and giving birth to this new series.The cacophonic opening track to Kevin Drew's debut solo disc, Spirit If…, clashes and crashes its way through the first two minutes almost as if it has something to prove. Perhaps it is Drew's testament to the early days of the band he fronts (Broken Social Scene), or possibly he is just showing that he still loves sonic anarchy? either way, the lion's share of his solo debut is neither bombastic nor a true solo project. In fact, many different Broken members participate on this CD, including the three most indie-famous members: Feist (who shines in "Aging Faces/Losing Places"), Metric's Emily Haines, and Stars co-frontwoman Amy Millan. One thing that the CD makes crystal clear is the type of music Drew has been influenced by: tracks like "Safety Bricks" and "Lucky Ones" could just have easily come out of the mouths and minds of '90s indie rock bands Sebadoh, Pavement, or Dinosaur Jr. (especially the latter group). Smartly, Drew doesn't just resemble his idols, he includes them on this disc: Dino frontman J Mascis contributes vocals and guitars to "Backed Out on the…," while Pavement guitarist Scott Kannberg contributes noodlings on "Lucky Ones." All in all, this charming offering is less dissonant and more mellow than Broken discs, making it a sonically consistent ride that could--and should--bring more fans into the Drew fold. --Denise Sheppard
