Spin.com live review of The Happiness Project
“To be honest, I didn’t expect this to go beyond my living room,” admitted Broken Social Scene guitarist Charles Spearin Wednesday night at Toronto’s Music Gallery, where he debuted the Happiness Project.
We might as well have been in his living room. Spearin had already kicked off his shoes and was treating fans to his experimental, home-spun sound: The recorded voices of family, friends, and neighbors talking about the meaning of happiness were mashed up with a 10-person live band.
…Alright. So here I am at just before 2am, and I need to study. As always, music and the internet get in the way me getting to sleep. But I have been studying – don’t worry. Charles Spearin is a member of Broken Social Scene, one of Canada’s most influential bands. BSS is on the same label as Stars and Feist, among many others whom I love listening to as of late.
