Revisited: Kevin Drew (Broken Social Scene) Talks with Julia Holter for the Talkhouse Music Podcast

The songwriters discuss the difference between writing solo and with a group, the next Broken Social Scene record, and a possible collaboration.

With the recent release of Julia Holter’s new LP In the Same Room (which features gorgeous new live-in-studio versions of songs from her last two albums) as well as an imminent new album from Broken Social Scene, we wanted to revisit the thoughtful conversation Holter and Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew had last summer for the Talkhouse Music Podcast. Subscribe now on iTunes or Stitcher to stay in the loop about future Talkhouse Podcasts.
Also, we want to hear from you! Head on over to bit.ly/TalkhouseSurvey to fill out a two-minute survey about you, our audience, so we can hear about how to bring you the best conversations. To sweeten the deal, we’ll be raffling off a Fender Mahogany Acoustic Guitar, a rad nine-LP prize pack courtesy of the great crews at Secretly Group and Dead Oceans, a custom Levi’s jean jacket, and four $25 Amazon gift cards. Good luck!
—Elia Einhorn, Talkhouse Music Podcast host and producer

Songwriter/composer Julia Holter and Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew sat down backstage at Pitchfork Fest earlier this summer to discuss the difference between writing solo and with a group, how the next Broken Social Scene record needs some Bobby McFerrin-esque acapella… and a possible collaboration.
