As we mentioned yesterday, this new track, “Horses,” is a cover of the Patti Smith classic by Broken Social Scene (or a condensed version of the every-changing band) featuring Brendan Canning, Charles Spearin , Damon Richardson [formerly of Danko Jones] and Liz Powell from Montreal indie trio Land of Talk on vox.
The track comes from the upcoming soundtrack to Bruce McDonald’s indie film, “The Tracey Fragments,” (starring Ellen Page) due May 13 on Lakeshore records and features four new Social Scene songs (they composed the entire score to the film), plus one old track from the compilation Bee Hives. Just like her musical sway over, “Juno,” Page’s affection for Patti Smith’s “Horses” made it a major motif in the film (*Lakeshore changed their date).
Liz Powell also appears on the BSS track “Needle In The Head,” and will be featured on two tracks from Brendan Canning’s self-titled Broken Social Scene series solo album that comes out June 22 on Arts & Crafts), including the first single, “Hit The Wall.”
“The Tracey Fragments” came out in Canada late last fall and comes out in the U.S. May 9 via ThinkFilm. Someone hit us up with screening info already.
