Broken Social Scene » Modest Mouse from The Voice Project on Vimeo.
If you have about nine minutes to kill, this video of Broken Social Scene covering Modest Mouse's "The World At Large" is definitely worth your time. Recorded for the Voice Project, a video series that hopes to raise money for Ugandan women, the video goes a few steps further than expected, showing the band piecing their cover together bit by bit before actually performing. Speaking of taking things a few steps further than expected, Broken Social Scene stretch out the Good News For People Who Love Bad News gem into a glimmering stretch of post-rock, complete with twinkly guitars, saxophones, and Kevin Drew playing drums while singing. The whole thing is quite pretty.
Broken Social Scene's Forgiveness Rock Record is available now. Modest Mouse are currently working on their next full-length.
