New Broken Social Scene Offering: Kevin Drew

Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene is joining the ranks of BSS members going solo. His full length titled Spirit If... is due out on September 18th on Arts & Crafts Records. While I wasn't extremely impressed with the Apostle of Hustle record, I have really liked the new Feist one, and Emily Haines' Knives was probably my favorite record from last year. So Kevin has sort of a tough act to follow from his BSS family. The new song that just hit this morning is called "Tbtf" and it supposedly isn't meant to be pronounced - but said as an acronym. I'm not going to spoil the lyrical content because it's funnier to just listen to it not expecting the chorus. This song sounds more like the classic Broken Social Scene sound than any of the other solo efforts and makes me that much more excited for this release. Enjoy:

I thought the Apostle record was great, what are your gripes?
Also, have you heard any of that Stars cover project? I guess a bunch of bands (MSTRKRFT, Metric, Apostle of Hustle, etc.) covered the entire Stars album. alright, I've typed enough on this website today.
