If you’ve never examined the depth of Broken Social Scene‘s origins, you are in for an extensive flow chart of bands. Metric, Stars, The Weakerthans, By Divine Right, The FemBots, Land of Talk, Do Make Say Think all make up part of this ersatz supergroup’s DNA. But truly, before there was Broken Social Scene, there was K.C. Accidental. K.C. Accidental was made up of BSS founder/guitarist/vocalist Kevin Drew and multi-instrumentalist/best contemporary jazz prize winner at the 2010 Juno Awards Charles Spearin and together they recorded two albums in the late 90s, Captured Anthems For An Empty Bathtub and Anthems For The Could’ve Bin Pills. Both of these albums have been out of print and very hard to find.

Recently, those two albums were re-released as one lovely package and below you can find the song  ”Residential Love Song”, a post-rock precursor to BSS proper. Not only do you get a better idea of where Feel Good Lost and You Forget It In People come from, we also have some background on the band’s lexicology with regards to song names (“K.C. Accidental”, “Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl”, “Alive in ’85″, etc…)

The first six tracks represent the very sparse Captured Anthems For An Empty Bathtub while the following six tracks are from the more collaborative and expansive Anthems For The Could’ve Bin Pills. You can look at the tracklist below and check the cover-art to the right, which clearly is a picture of Kevin and Charles in their youth. You can also purchase the re-release in digital/CD/LP formats here.
