The release date of one of the most anticipated albums of the year is drawing ever closer. Spirit If…? is the first in a series of Broken Social Scene Presents albums and is the brain child of head Social Scener Kevin Drew. Released on September 14th via Arts & Crafts and City Slang, the fourteen track collection is fast becoming a major contender for album of the year. Look out for a review in the upcoming weeks. The track Tbtf (too beautiful to fuck) has been doing the rounds on the internets for a few weeks now, but to wet the appetite further the debut video from the album has just been unveiled, and its a corker!
According to Arts & Crafts; “The video for Backed Out On The Cause happened last minute after a Dinosaur Jr show in Toronto where Joules Scott Key (of Metric), Lou Barlow and Murph (of Dinosaur Jr) all came to the shoot to hang out. John Caffery from ‘Kids on TV’ was hired to come and dance his ASS off and a spontaneous party was put into effect. There were seven mirrors, one disco ball, four lights, one bottle of rum, three bottles of tequila, 62 beers, four crew, and 17 people. It got put together on the day of the shoot and became the party of the year. It cost three thousand dollars to make… It was priceless.”
See for yourself in all its You Tube glory below. Oh, and just to get you even more excited about the Broken Social Scene Presents series, co-founder of BSS Brandan Canning is currently working on album number two in Toronto with a release date for Sping 2008 in the pipeline.
