Saw this album on the shelves last week and nearly picked it up because it's a solo effort from the founder of the Broken Social Scene...
I opted to not do this because I was actually hoping to find a copy of the new War On Drugs album... In some ways - this album by Kevin Drew, can be compared to the new War on Drugs album. Both albums chart similar personal territories thru their lyrics and the music in some respects sorta visit similar sonic terrains.
This album however falls a little short of what War on Drugs put out... but it's still got a few good tracks nonetheless.
It sorta hit a spot for me this evening as I attempted to wrap up some work well into the evening... I'm now currently typing this entry from bed and I'm struggling to keep my eyes open because the album is freakishly soothing to hear.
Highly recommended to those who love Broken Social Scene.
