Kevin Drew is one of the founders of Canadian super group Broken Social Scene. He recently released some solo material in the form of the album Spirit If... on the Toronto-based label, Arts and Crafts. Considering that Drew is one of the chief songwriters of Broken Social Scene, it's hard not to hear remnants of BSS all over this album. And it doesn't help that certain members of BSS, such as Feist, Emily Haines and Amy Millan, appear on the album. However, this is in my opinion, a good thing as the Canadian group contains several noteworthy individual talents. The first single 'Tbtf' is a mellow offering, as are many tracks on this album. Yet, Spirit If.... still manages to provide a chaotic dreamy feel and that alone makes Drew's solo effort solid and worth checking out.

Kevin Drew - Spirit If....
If you're wondering why the album title appears as Broken Social Scene Presents....Kevin Drew Spirit If...., it is because the album is apparently the first in a series of solo releases from members of Broken Social Scene. Next up is BSS's founding member Brendan Canning's in 2008.
