Kevin Drew – Safety Bricks

• 8th Nov 2007

What do you do as the driving force of a foraging, dynamic and multi-dimension outfit whose last and eponymously titled album represented a leap of Neil Armstrong proportions? Add to this, the fact that your record label is probably trying to march you and your many in number colleagues back into the studio like cattle, in order to milk their rise even further.

For Kevin Drew, the lynchpin of Canada’s Broken Social Scene, you simply take a step back and produce a thoughtful, stirring and acoustic manipulating solo foray, matching the brisk thoughtfulness of contemporary Michael Andrews. Mystique and craftsmanship blend together this wistful offering of subtlety and intrigue. Kevin Drew is continuing to expand and the creative juices continue to flow.
