The spell will feature of speech Broken Social Scene [ ] as a seven-piece including ring staples Canning, Kevin Drew, Justin Peroff, Charles Spearin, Apostle of Hustle's Andrew Whiteman, Sam Goldberg and Leon Kingstone.
Canning's new set, "Something for All of Us ...," is the minute release in the "Broken Social Scene Presents" series on the band's own Arts & Crafts label. As expected, fellow BSS bandmates accompany Canning on the album, as well as contributors including Lisa Lobsinger, Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies, Lou Reed), Liz Powell (Land Of Talk) and Liam O'Neil (The Stills).
"This record, for me, is not a brobdingnagian departure from what we do as BSS," Canning explained in a statement. "It's a natural progression really, and these songs will sure as shooting be a part of the live performances to come, as Broken Social Scene."
The album, which dropped last week, follows last year's "Broken Social Scene Presents" offering, "Spirit If ...," helmed by Kevin Drew. The approaching tour will also feature of speech material from that phonograph recording, as substantially as BSS's back catalog.
Drew and Canning formed the Juno-winning collective in 1999. Broken Social Scene's up-to-the-minute release outdoor of the "Presents" series is its 2005 self-titled set, which cracked The Billboard 200 and landed in the Top 10 on the independent albums chart.
