As winter sets in to Southern California, and rains starts becoming more of an everyday phenomena, I find myself looking for mellower music that compliments the changing season. Summer and Spring are about loud brash tunes that make you want to go out there and smash your antlers into the neck of that other fucking dear who is sniffing around your girlfriends ass.
Or maybe that's just me.
Broken Social Scene has been referred to as "Supergroup" because of the fact that the roster can go fluxuate anywhere from 5 to 17 members at a time. The reason for this is that BSS likes to create a symphonic melody to back the indie pop style that lays at the core of their music. BSS comes out of Canada, as was formed in 1999 by various members of other failed little indie bands that shall not be mentioned here. Canada spits this type of music out on a fairly regular basis (Dears, Divine Comedy, tragically hip, Halifax's Sloan, etc) but that's OK, since the U.S. could use a slight bit more of it. Death Cab For Cutie will soon be done to death I'm sure, and calling yourself Postal Service will only squeeze one more album out at most.
This is Tea time music. Kick back and enjoy the string section. There are layers here to be appreciated. The overall production is quality, but when you have a band that can combine this many elements together and not turn it into audio mush, than you've got something worth checking out

cause = Time is making some sort of statement about religious fanaticism here but its fairly ambiguous beyond "BAD." No shit.
