New Music: Broken Social Scene Presents: Brendan Canning: "Hit the Wall" [MP3/Stream]
And now, Broken Social Scene bring you their latest feature presentation. Next up after Kevin Drew's wide-eyed Spirit If... comes fellow BSS founding member Brendan Canning-- aka Broken Social Scene Presents: Brendan Canning-- with Something for All of Us... "Hit the Wall", the first such something, makes it sound like the "all of us" in question happen to be indie-rock fans (hey, good guess!), grabbing 1990s indie touchstones by their lo-fi scruff as if the wall he's singing about had Blood on it. Followers of the Scene may have heard Canning's voice on You Forgot It in People's "Stars and Sons", Broken Social Scene's "Handjob for the Holidays", and "KC Accidental" B-side "Market Fresh", but that's about it; he sings in a high, whispery tone, cloaked here in loads of clanging distortion.
