BSS Presents: Brendan Canning - Hit The Wall

Broken Social Scene Presents: the other bloke from Broken Social Scene. And with a whole host of ‘Socialites’ - including co-honcho Kevin Drew - on board for parent album Something For Everyone, you have to wonder what all this is about. Weird prefixes aside though, Hit The Wall is a tasty little indie-pop morsel, built on a cyclical guitar riff, a nicely understated chorus that, somehow, brings The Klaxons to mind, before ending with some requisite BSS brass codas. In fact, it’s not too far removed from Canning’s more pronounced work with the expansive Canadian troupe really. No bad thing in these books. [Darren Carle]
