Feist is back with another new song, “Borrow Trouble,” off her upcoming album, Multitudes, set to arrive on April 14.
In a statement, Feist said the song “caused some trouble” of its own as she tried to fine-tune it during the recording process. “It began as a contemplative acoustic morality tale and shape-shifted itself into the sound of trouble itself. It’s a mess that holds its own logic. It’s the convincing cacophony that thoughts can be. It saws away at you until your overwhelm pops an air supply in the form of another idea,...

Indie darlings Broken Social Scene unveiled a new song, “All I Want,” from their forthcoming Ep Let’s Try the After – Vol. 1, set to arrive February 15th via Arts and Crafts. The track opens with an synth pulsing over the tinny crack of old-school electronic drums. Andrew Whiteman sings lead on the track, his soft croon lending poignancy and depth to the song’s simple, yet mesmerizing, hook, “All I, all I, all I want/ All I want is you.”

Due in theaters this weekend in Canada and in limited release in the U.S. (and currently available on VOD), by now you hopefully know that Sarah Polley’s sophomore release “Take This Waltz” is one of our favorite films of the year so far. Starring Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, Canadian actor Luke Kirby, and comedienne Sarah Silverman (in a great dramatic performance) the film is an unflinchingly raw look at love, infidelity and the often selfish choices we make in our lives (read our review here).
And apart from being emotional, moving, melancholy and at times, difficult to watch, the film's textured funny, happy/sad moods are well buttressed by an excellent soundtrack, and again, one of our favorites of the year so far. The movie takes its title from a classic Leonard Cohen song and the film features that cut (of course), plus Canadian chanteuse Feist's take on...

If you are not familiar with Broken Social Scene than you most likely don’t listen to the same type of music as me. The Canadian supergroup includes as few as six and as many as nineteen members with contributions by such artists as Justin Peroff, Charles Spearin, Bill Priddle, Leslie Feist, Jessica Moss and Evan Cranley, Amy Milan, Andrew Whiteman, Jason Collett, and Emily Haines—to name a few. The band’s music features a very large number of sounds, grand orchestrations featuring guitars, horns, woodwinds, and violins, unusual song structures, and an experimental, and sometimes chaotic production style. Since wooing fans and critics alike with their 2003 Juno Award-winning album You Forgot It in People, the band’s popularity has made them such big stars that in 2010, Bruce McDonald made This Movie Is Broken, a film about the band’s Harbourfront show during the 2009 Toronto strike.Their newest video...

Broken Social Scene kicked off the summer by releasing their fourth studio album, the heavily anticipated Forgiveness Rock Record. But that's not all the Canadian indie-rock band has coming. While recording Forgiveness, they were also in Toronto, quietly working on music for "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," director Edgar Wright's love letter to all things geeky.
"I'm not allowed to tell you that it's really f---ing fun," frontman Kevin Drew joked when he and bandmate Charles Spearin stopped by the MTV News offices last month.
Although the bandmembers were mostly tight-lipped about details surrounding their experience with Wright, we now know that Broken Social Scene created the music — the soundtrack's official track list was released this...

For more than a decade now, Broken Social Scene have operated as a (very) loosely organized, semi-autonomous, sorta nation-state — a collection of like-minded Canadian musicians orbiting around the group's two founding members: Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning.
Over that time, they've released four proper albums, including a pair of Broken Social Scene Presents ... solo albums (which featured just about everyone who played/sang on previous Broken Social Scene albums), a B-sides collection and a handful of EPs, singles and 7-inches. And you can add to that list the playing they've done on various albums by Bss alumni like Feist, Metric and Stars.
Needless to say, it has been a pretty hectic run — one...
