Broken Social Scene - Forgiveness Rock Record

Like a hot house for talent, BSS has given rise to acts like Stars, Metric, Jason Collett and, most famously, Feist. But the indie-rock collective has been quiet of late, as frontmen Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning released solo projects. Now the sprawling, family-like band is back with a tighter unit, a cool horn section and a wealth of catchy tunes, including the cinematic “Chase Scene,” the funky “Highway Slipper Jam” and the sweet ’n’ dreamy “Sentimental X’s,” featuring Feist, Emily Haines and Amy Milan.

Andy Kim - It’s Decided

An unlikely friendship between the 68-year-old behind pop hits like the Archies’ “Sugar Sugar” and Broken Social Scene’s 38-year-old Kevin Drew has produced a surprisingly fine cross-generational album. Along with a dreamy update of Kim’s “Shoot ‘Em Up Baby,” it features gems like the breezy “Sail On” and the moody “Sister OK.”
