ThreeImaginaryGirls.com review Broken Social Scene,
By *three imaginary girls* "*three imaginary girls*" (Seattle, WA [USA]) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bee Hives (Audio CD)
And the award for most tongue-in-cheek title for a collection of B-sides goes to... You remember Broken Social Scene, that wondrous indie-rock collective out of Canada whose 2003 release "You Forgot it in People" was the music-snob's name-drop of November and December? Naturally, when a small label gets a band that can sell records to their niche market like fairies can sell fairy dust to kids at a Peter Pan flight school, then the label gets a surge of happy thoughts and the re-issues and collections of b-sides come soaring in from Neverneverland, and so it is with the band at hand. Enter "Bee Hives," a lovely collection from the folks out at Arts and Crafts. Like its predecessor, it's most definitely a headphones album. However, while the ambience of YFIP is sort of there, and the enigmatic nature is still sort of there, for eight of the nine tracks, the record feels like, well, just a bunch of b-sides. The album opens with an intro dubiously entitled, "intro." It sounds exactly how you think it might - some distortion, a lot of reverb, and then it's over. That's followed by "Marketfresh," a very decent song in all aspects, and probably got the boot from YFIP's track list in favor of the slightly better "Looks just like the sun." They both have the cool and elaborate acoustic-ness with electronic beeps and blips in the background perfect for collapsing on a couch at four in the morning. The following instrumental, "Weddings," might have been more aptly titled "Escalator" or "Moving Sidewalk at the Airport When you're really Tired." If you're awake enough to pay attention to what's going on in all the Broken Social Layers, then you'll find it's as much an enjoyable track as the first half of "Da Da Dada," another cut on "Beehives" taken from the "Cause = Time" 7", but one which about two minutes into the unimpressive instrumental layers at the beginning, opens up with a center staged drum kit and some spacey star-gazer laser effects bouncing back and forth behind. It's a little like how you might remember the music waiting in line for Space Mountain. (...)

I will tell you,
By alexander laurence (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bee Hives (Audio CD)
Broken Social Scene is one of the weirdest bands right now. I am not really sure who is in the band. It seems like Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning started it. There are other members like from Stars and Metric and other groups. The music is moody and eclectic. This record is not a proper record but a collection of B-sides. Most of it was recorded over a long period of time. Emily Haines from Metric sings on "Backyards" and "Lover's Spit" and really shines. This is the new chill out sound. There are a lot of ambient ideas being thrown around here. Supposedly the band have recorded a ton of material. They are dying to release as many albums as possible. Bee Hives is a mood that is like early Spring. As a live band, who knows what songs they are going to play?
