This time around sounds vaguely similar: Drew mentions that members of BSS plan to work on solo projects and hints at records from himself and Canning, as well as Andrew Whiteman, Charles Spearin and Justin Peroff, but Drew has also mentioned that he’s interested in exploring film in the future.Ĭontrary to the panicked Internet reaction, it seems Broken Social Scene’s hiatus signals that the band is moving on to explore new creative avenues.

This duo recorded and released the bands ambient debut album Feel Good Lost, in 2001, with.
