Before there was
Broken Social Scene, there was
K.C. Accidental. The lo-fi bedroom recordings of Broken Social Scene's founder/vocalist/guitarist
Kevin Drew and multi-instrumentalist/studio mastermind
Charles Spearin,
K.C. Accidental - a mostly post-rock instrumental project - laid the foundation for the Toronto collective's sprawling expanse in the form of two self-released albums made at the end of the 90s: Captured Anthems For An Empty Bathtub and Anthems For The Could've Bin Pills.
Because they were released in limited numbers on Noise Factory Records, traded amongst friends and hidden in the pockets of Toronto's independent record stores, these two records have been out of print for five years and have never been available outside of Canada. This fall, we will be reissuing these seminal recordings in one package on October 26th in 2-LP, 2-CD and digital formats. Pre-order the album at GalleryAC.com
here or stop by the merch booth on the current Broken Social Scene North American tour (dates
here) to pick up the album now.
