Canadian supergroup writing again

Broken Social Scene's Brendan Canning - the band's co-core member alongside Kevin Drew - has spoken to Pitchfork about new BSS material.

Both Canning and Drew have released guest-featuring 'solo' albums under the 'Broken Social Scene presents...' banner since BSS's last album proper, a self-titled effort in 2005. Canning's own 'Something For All Of Us' was released earlier this year, Drew's 'Spirit If' preceding it by a year.

Despite the 'presents...' releases, fans are desperate for new BSS material, and Canning confirmed to the US website that the band was moving in the right direction:

Pitchfork: What's next? Do you have anything else going on?
BC: Maybe another Broken Social Scene record.

Pitchfork: Any details you care to share about that?
BC: Not right now, no. If I had some, I would share them, but, like I said, we're just trying to put another show together for a fall tour.

Pitchfork: Are people going to hear the new songs on the tour?
BC: Yeah, I think we could at least throw in two or three. We have some songs that aren't recorded, and whether they make a record or not is anyone's guess. You never really know 'til you sit down, start writing, kind of figure out what shape and size the record is going to come in.
