Kevin Drew: Spirit If

Here's the new solo joint from Broken Social Scene's (frontman?) Kevin Drew. Most the reviews say it sounds like a BSS album, which is accurate. Honestly, I think he could have cut out a couple of the tracks and gone EP instead of full-length. If I had it my way, I'd rather see the better tracks make their way on to the next BSS album, especially since the band is playing on them anyway. Alas this album is still pretty solid anyway. Favorites are "Farewell to the Pressure Kids", "Lucky Ones", and hard rock-gone-dance stylings of "Backed Out On the..."
