For the first time in five years, the entirety of the
Broken Social Scene ensemble has a new release due out in May. Kevin Drew spilled the beans in a P4k interview! Now we get beans!
The crew is confirmed to include aforementioned singer-guitarist Kevin Drew, singer-bassist Brendan Canning, drummer Justin Peroff, guitarist Charles Spearin, singer-guitarist Andrew Whiteman, Sam Goldberg on guitar. The core-six wrote and arranged the entire album. But with the rotating carousel of musicians that participate in BSS, who knows how many other familiar voices will be heard? Some people were mentioned; Leslie Feist, Stars' Amy Millan and Evan Cranley, Metric's Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw, Jason Collett, Do Make Say Think's Ohad Benchetrit, John Crossingham, Marty Kinack, Julie Penner, Leon Kingstone, and Lisa Lobsinger. With John McEntire producing and Sebastien Grainger on there somewhere...we're going to need a bigger tour bus.
