Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew has announced a new instrumental album called Influences, sharing the new single ‘The Slinfold Loop’, too. The album will be released under the moniker K.D.A.P. (Kevin Drew a Picture) on July 16 via Arts and Crafts. Check out the new song below and scroll down for the LP’s cover artwork and tracklist.
“We live in a society that’s based on selling yourself back to yourself,” Drew said of ‘The Slinfold Loop’ in a statement. “It’s created an underground battle to constantly be searching for “true identity.” We wanted to create a video presentation that promotes exploring over searching and brings the mystical slide-show of never ending opinion to the forefront of this battle. We used available footage from the World Wide Web from other artists and cut together a blender of images to tell a love story about continuing to move forward amongst the never ending information of how one is supposed to live.”
Influences, the follow-up to 2014’s Darlings, was created during the pandemic using the smartphone beat-making app Endlesss. Drew wrote the album during walks through the woods of Slinford and London’s Islington district.
