Almost a year after the first installment of the "Broken Social Scene Presents" album series featuring Kevin Drew leaked, the second album with BSS's Brendan Canning has now surfaced. Due for release on July 22nd, Canning's Something For All Of Us... doesn't take as many musical risks as Drew did last year, but it is definitely a must listen for all BSS fans. Canning uses horns to spice up some of his slower tracks ("Chameleon"), turns up the guitars at all the right moments ("Something For All Of Us,"), and isn't afraid to get a bit funky ("Love Is New"). Vocally, his singing is reminiscent of Drew, especially as he mumbles and slurs his words together. But then there are times when Canning stretches his range to the point that it sounds more like an instrument than a human voice. And these are the moments that really make this album great. Despite all of the great things about Something For All Of Us..., there are a few tracks that do slow the record down ("Snowballs And Icicles" and "Antique Bull" for starters), and further remind the listener how much more cohesive Drew's "BSS Presents" album is. On the whole though, Canning's album is still worth multiple listens for any interested fan of this Canadian collective.

Diditleak is reporting that Coldplay's new one has leaked. Any word on that? (I know it's not "indie" but I think a lot of us is curious.)
Gracias.

"It has come to my attention that an unmastered version of my album has been leaked through the internet. With the retail release being six weeks away, I've decided to correct the situation by releasing the album digitally myself, because I can. So this is for all you early birds who just couldn't wait for July 22nd. But you know, it won't be like going to your favorite record shop and getting a copy in your hot little hands, or sitting in your basement downloading it to your iTouch phone [sic] while playing 'Grand Theft Auto'. It merely corrects the situation that is...a messed up version of my record floating around on the internet, and this is not how I wanted my record to drop. Believe me, this is not a minor situation. We're talking recall here folks... With all of this in mind, please note: Something for All of Us... will be available at all fine retail and digital outlets in North America July 22nd with some additional artwork inside and slightly later for the rest of the world.
Thank you all, please enjoy.
