Spirit If...As If There Was Any Doubt

To those of you going to the Kevin Drew/ B.S.S. show at Lee's next week, I'm jealous. As to the quality of the album - it almost goes without saying. If you like Broken Social Scene you will like "Spirit If..." - After two years in the making and featuring many of the people that made Broken Social Scene happen including Feist, Andrew Whiteman (Apostle of Hustle), Brendan Canning (who is due next for a solo effort), Emily Haines, Amy Millan, Ohad Benchetrit and Charles Spearin of Do Make Say Think and....well the list goes on and on.

If there is a safe bet in Canadian Indie music this year, Spirit If.. would be it. The CD simply never falls short of brilliance for a moment. I think it's even safe to say that there are only 9 spots left on next year's Polaris short list. If you're still unsure you can hear a few tracks and download a free copy of TBTF at Kevin's Myspace but seriously, why postpone the inevitable, go get the album.
