Je fais passer l'info qu'a publié Kevin Drew sur le blog du groupe sur leur myspace à savoir la sortie fin 2009 début 2010 du quatrième disque de BSC et un bouquin "This Book Is Broken " retraçant l'époque post You Forgot It in People.


We are in Chicago - Soma Studio to be precise. I am happy to announce we have started recording our first record in four years and decided to do it with the one and only John McEntire. We did a one-day session with John last October and it was a perfect fit. This plan has been in the works for nine months and it has all come together quite sweetly in the moments leading up to being here...he is a hero of ours when it comes to recordings so it seems very balanced that we are here.

We spent the last couple of weeks at Chuck Spearin's house/rehearsal space/backyard writing tunes, drinking coffees, hanging with the family...and now it's time for the record button.

To be here is a departure for us since our two previous records have been made by David Newfeld...He just finished making the new most serene republic record and is now busy working with our friends from México city, the very excellent chikita violenta. He is a very busy man at the moment but we have discussed plans for the future....

There is no one like Dave and no one who makes records like him. He has played a HUGE role in our music but right now it feels good to be at Soma with John.

Before I left I wrote him an email to ask for his blessing and here is a quote from his response:

"You don't need my blessing, I'm not a religious guy, I don't believe in Mary, Mohammed, Hindi God 3b, Buddha 1xp2, Pharaoh 4,Darth Vader, Zeppelin 3, Lucifer or Jesus, so I'm not qualified to bestow blessings, but if you want me to wish you the best in your recording, then I wish you the best!"

love that guy.

Also, we had a book written about us that has come out this week.

Weird?? yes.

Strange?? yes.

Our friend Stuart Berman compiled the book over the last couple of years. It's title: "This Book Is Broken " and it covers the musical years in our city leading up to us getting together, the You Forgot It in People days, and the days after. It consists of interviews with the band, friends, local promoters and musicians.

My brother was the original catalyst who took the idea to Canadian publisher, HOUSE OF ANANSI...a publishing house we all felt comfortable with because of their excellent reputation. I encourage everyone to go to their site and see the writers that they publish...Margaret Atwood, Sheila Heti.... We are semi-scared/honored to have a book written about us. It is sort of like a high school yearbook of our last ten years. We would like to publicly thank House of Anansi and Stuart Berman for their unending patience, efforts, design and tact in this whole process.

Merci pour le lien et les infos
Pour la cover, j'avais vu la news sur Pitchfork mais je ne l'avais pas écouté, c'est vraiment éloigné de l'originale, mais pas mal du tout quand même

L'album est prévu pour mai! avec une date a Paris le 21 à La Maroquinerie
I've got my ticket!

Oui prévu pour le 4 mai, une coprod BSS et John McEntire de Tortoise. C'est très tentant cette date à Paris...

Ça m'étonnerait pas que la route du rock essaie de les avoir cet été. Enfin on verra.

Album disponible gratuitement sur internet

Personne a écouté?

Après deux écoutes, ca passe plutôt bien. Il y a notamment Sentimental X's avec Emily Haines, Feist et Amy Millan...

Je viens de tomber dessus : BSS a fait un concert retransmis en streaming le 18 que l'on peut retrouver en intégralité sur youtube.

Je regarderai ça quand j'aurais un peu de temps.
Parce que je suis quand même descendu chez les basques l'été dernier pour voir les scènes du festivals s'écrouler avec la tempête et BSS plier bagages alors que rien n'avait commencé !!

Broken Social Scene est de retour, 7 ans après leur dernier album!! Et ça c'est bien cool

Un premier extrait d'un disque attendu pour cet été :

Nouvel album en écoute:

Très bon album je trouve

Il a rien à envier à leur album "Broken Social Scene" selon moi. Rien de bien nouveau mais c'est efficace et moi qui écoute plus trop ce genre de trucs, j'ai vraiment pris plaisir a l'écouter.
