I never considered myself a great expert in Indie-pop, but when, not long ago, my sound hunter introduced me to this "You Forgot It In People", I knew I had made a good purchase. A supergroup in all respects with members from bands like Do Make Say Think, A Silver Mt. Zion, and Stars, Broken Social Scene started as a modest instrumental dream-pop ensemble:
A year and a half ago, in general indifference, this collective of about ten people decided out of the blue that they wanted to have fun with light-hearted pop songs. The result is exceptional: minds accustomed to more complex structures found themselves perfectly at ease in this genre.
"You Forgot It In People" possesses a vast range of moods and atmospheres without losing the thread that ties it all together, which is not easy if it's true that in its 56 minutes we can find the classic Kranky guitars (see GYBE), orchestral eminence, the chaotic and biting accelerations of the New York sound, the taste for a subtle and relaxing pop, and certain rarefied post-rock atmospheres, a cauldron of sounds manipulated with awareness and now rare style.
The BSS demonstrates an inventive, lively, complex, and multifaceted creativity all treated with a good dose of low-fi,
Personally, listening to this work brings back too many groups to mind, and just to name a few, I'll throw Wilco, Jim O'Rourke, Interpol.
Dinosaur Jr., but don't get distracted in seeking similarities and let yourself be carried away by these guys who maybe haven't created a masterpiece but came damn close.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
02 KC Accidental (03:50)
All your kind they're coming clean
They shut their eyes, their mess, their scenes
All your kind, their spool and lance
Their crash, their kiss, they harmonize/
All your kind they're, all your kind they
All your kind they come and clean
Their sleep through keys
They kill their needs
It's good...
03 Stars and Sons (05:08)
Then when you let it
You asked for nothing
Why don't you share it
All of the time you live
There's something out there
This one will know, how far to live on
This one will ever know in this town
And in the red room
At a distance
How would you know it
You're the same when you're living
I don't know it
It won't be this
This one will know, how far to live on
This one will know, how far to live on
All of the time you wait, there's someone out there
And no one can find all the red
How would you show it
You can see through the red
I don't know it
It won't be this time
This one will know, how far to live on
This one will know, how far to live on
05 Looks Just Like the Sun (04:23)
Looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
Looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
But it looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
But I'm breathing, thinking one...
Heart is pounding in his chest
Reaches suddenly for his gun
Should be sailing in the west
Flower that could be his fun
Tree of families on his head
Weary red, split open eyes
I'm on the corner, thinking 'bout my bed
Ain't just in store and signifies
Looks just like
And it looks just like it
Looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
Looks just like the sun
And it looks just like it
But I'm breathing, thinking one...
Gold and red the colors change as you can't forget
Turning back, you know I thought I knew, thought I knew someone
You better check your watch
I think it's time you left
To he, darkness - still it's obvious to everyone
Darkness, still - it's obvious to everyone
Still it's obvious to every
Well it looks just like
Looks just like it
Looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
Looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
Looks just like the sun
08 Cause = Time (05:30)
You come in, check my time
You've got fornication crimes
I've seen your hope on television
Where we've been, we were not were
They've got tricycles in skirts
This is a mouth that needs religion
And they all want to love the cause
'Cause they all need to be the cause
They all want to fuck the cause
So take me down, down through this
Kill the common law that missed
This is the blood I love to share
Little pistols and companion halls
Desperation tentacles
I've been alone since '89
We've got a menstruating disguise
They know three completes the five
This is a church that should believe
And they all want to free the cause
'Cause they all need to dream a cause
They all need to be a cause
You've got all and it's
Pretty good but I
Seem to be in disbelief
You come in, check my time
You've got fornication crimes
I've seen your death on television
Cue immortal child like times
Separation is divine
Here is a strike beneath your knees
And they all want to love the cause
'Cause they all need to be the cause
They all want to fuck the cause
Take me down, down through this
Kill the white within the bliss
Here is a waiting room
That wants to save your life
And they all want to love the cause
They all need to be the cause
They all want to dream a cause
They all need to fuck the cause
