Kevin Drew's Spirit inAustralia
Thu 28th Jun, 2007 in International News
Broken Social Scene frontman Kevin Drew is set to release his debut solo album in Australia this September, on Shiny Records.
Spirit If … is the first album from the Broken Social Scene Presents series, in which co-founders Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning have decided to approach making albums as solo projects. By drawing in the Broken Social Scene community to play key supporting roles, the artists made a return to the creative process that was the initial catalyst for Broken Social Scene.
Spirit If … unfolds like an emotional comic book and addresses all of Drew’s favourite topics – fighting, fear and hope.
The album was recorded over two years in Ohad Benchetrit ’s (Broken Social Scene, Do Make Say Think ) home studio and was produced by Benchetrit, Charles Spearin (Broken Social Scene, Do Make Say Think) and Drew himself.
Canning is currently recording the second album of the series in Toronto, which will be released early next year.
Spirit If … will be released late September on Shiny Records, with distribution through Inertia. For more info, head to www.shinyrecords.com.au or www.arts-crafts.ca/kevindrew .
