Listener's Digest: Broken Social Scene - "Day Of The Kid"


As Arts & Crafts Records gears up for it's 10 year anniversary and next month's Field Trip festival in Toronto, the label is prepping the release of X, a compilation of collaborative new tracks from it's rich catalog of artists. The Canadian based label's best act, Broken Social Scene, has released a new track along with label mates Years, titled "Day Of The Kid," for the comp. Sounding like a perfect addition to the band's slightly more ambient and ethereal Bee Hives, the slow building beauty feels like the soundtrack to a sun rise, as delicate vocals and effects creep ever so slowly into the picture. While the big pay off never quite arrives, Kevin Drew's "so you really think that we can say" repeated over and over is as good of a release as the listener gets. Since the tune is not yet public, you will have to listen to it here.  Enjoy this song cause we may never get a another one from them if this hiatus stays in put. X will be released on May 28th.
