小简介： Broken Social Scene组队于1999年，最初只有Kevin Drew和Brendan Canning二人。他们在2001年推出的首张专辑《Feel Good Lost》得到不俗的评价。直至这第二张专辑時，曾参与制作的乐手竟多达10多人~当中更包括Do Make Say Think、A Silver Mt. Zion等较知名的乐队中的成员。这张专辑在超小型唱片公司Arts&Crafts推出，并未受到各界的注意。若非Pitchfork为这唱片撰写一篇超赞的乐评，恐怕这张唱片又要成为另一颗沧海遗珠了~ Broken Social Scene是个新出道的中型团体，他们的曲风仍是那样的随心所欲，节奏简单有力，鼓击轻重恰好，漫不经心的唱腔却紧紧楸住了我们的心，有一种迷人的魅力在音乐间散开，记住那首“Stars And Sons”，在心灰意冷时，它会给你些许的热力。 Broken Social Scene materialized in 1999 when K.C. Accidental's Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, formerly of By Divine Right, bonded their friendship into a band. They spent the next few years honing an atmospheric rock sound in their native Toronto and the dynamic was great. Feel Good Lost marked their debut album in 2001 and introduced a revolving cast of Canadian indie musicians. Drew's fellow mate from Do Make Say Think, Charles Spearin, was added to the band, as well as Evan Cranley (Stars), James Shaw, and Emily Haines (Metric). By the time their guitar-fueled sophomore effort, You Forgot It in People, was released in fall 2002, Broken Social Scene had become an 11-piece collective. Jason Collett, Andrew Whiteman, Justin Peroff and Leslie Feist fulfilled the band's bombastic, orchestrated sound and critics loved it. You Forgot It In People was a buzz among indie cohorts and plans for a stateside release on Arts & Crafts was slated for the following summer. A surprise, however, coincided those plans in spring 2003 when Broken Social Scene won a Juno for "Alternative Album of the Year" for You Forgot It In People. In order to maintain praise from critics, the band issued their first ever b-siders & rarities collection, Bee Hives, in spring 2004. For the band's 2005 self-titled studio album, Broken Social Scene once again joined producer David Newfeld. Additional contributions by select members of Stars, Metric, Do Make Say Think, Raising the Fawn, the Dears and others contributed to the ambitious sounds of Broken Social Scene. A joint North American tour with Feist followed its release.
