Tip: broken social scene

allmusic:

Broken Social Scene materialized in 1999 when K.C. Accidental's Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, formerly of By Divine Right, bonded their friendship into a band. They spent the next few years honing an atmospheric rock sound in their native Toronto and the dynamic was great. Feel Good Lost marked their debut album in 2001 and introduced a revolving cast of Canadian indie musicians. Drew's fellow mate from Do Make Say Think, Charles Spearin, was added to the band, as well as Evan Cranley (Stars), James Shaw, and Emily Haines (Metric). By the time their guitar-fueled sophomore effort, You Forgot It in People, was released in fall 2002, Broken Social Scene had become an 11-piece collective. Jason Collett, Andrew Whiteman, Justin Peroff and Leslie Feist fulfilled the band's bombastic, orchestrated sound and critics loved it. You Forgot It In People was a buzz among indie cohorts and plans for a stateside release on Arts & Crafts was slated for the following summer. A surprise, however, coincided those plans in spring 2003 when Broken Social Scene won a Juno for "Alternative Album of the Year" for You Forgot It In People.


check het maar

[fucking hero]

heb You Forgot It In People al een tijdje op mn harde schijf staan, moet er nog eens goed naar luisteren. Maar tot nu toe doet het me een beetje (te) soft/zweverig aan, moet er nog wel aan wennen. Eerste indruk is niet super.

Een supersupersuperalbum. Doet me af en toe wat denken aan "Death Cab For Cutie", maar dan wat aparter en inderdaad soms ook ietwat zweverig. Maar dan wel in de goede zin van het woord...
