Brendan Canning

Broken Social Scene's Brendan Canning is releasing his second solo effort, You Gots 2 Chill, via SQE Music. You Gots 2 Chill is a reflection of Canning's private world, an album that puts you right there in the living room with him.

"The lead single for the album, "Plugged In", now has a video directed by Fawcett Sharpe and Joel Barnes. It features a deaf man (played by Kenny Hotz of "Kenny vs. Spenny") walking around a city looking to earn some money. It also features a cameo from a busking Canning." - Pitchfork Video Premiere

"Broken Social Scene member Brendan Canning announced his sophomore LP You Gots 2 Chill with “Plugged In” at the beginning of the summer. As we get closer to its October release, he has offered up another track “Bullied Days,” a quiet acoustic cut with Daniela Gesundheit of Toronto band Snowblink on vocal duties." - Stereogum Track Premiere

"Canning delivers an intimate, homespun album, birthed in his Draper Street living room in Toronto, inviting you inside to take a break, chill out “and forget about the time of day and where you need to be..." - Paste

"Back in the '60s, some acoustic-guitar slinging boho from Minnesota extolled the virtues of bringing it all back home--with You Gots 2 Chill, Brendan Canning updates that maxim to 21st-century standards… Yes we mean Bob Dylan." - Artist Direct
