Album Review: Jason Collett "Here's to Being Here."

Above: "Unofficial Video" for Out of Time

Jason Collett is one of the masterminds behind Broken Social Scene. I can hear why he doesn't add the "Broken Social Scene Presents...." prefix to his albums, unlike Kevin Drew. Collett's traditional southern rock could not be further from the chaotic mess of the full BSS. (e.g. "Ibi Dreams of Pavement" from BSS's 2005 self titled release.) Collett's vocal delivery will inevitably draw comparisons to Bob Dylan, but only in a good way. Here's To Being Here is an album of buttoned down, straightforward rockers. Get it.
