Press Release// Jason Collett // Idols of Exile Arts
PRESS RELEASE // JASON COLLETT // IDOLS OF EXILE ARTS & CRAFTS TO RELEASE NEW JASON COLLETT STUDIO ALBUM ‘IDOLS OF EXILE’ IN CANADA ON JUNE 14, 2005 April 18, 2005. Toronto. Arts & Crafts is thrilled to announce that on June 14 we will be releasing Idols Of Exile, the new studio album by Jason Collett. Written during the two years he spent touring with Broken Social Scene and recorded this past winter with producer Howie Beck, Idols of Exile showcases Collett at his best. Collett’s 2003 Arts & Crafts release, Motor Motel Love Songs, was received with glowing critical acclaim around the world. A compilation of material from his earlier indie albums, the New York Times labeled it, “recommended to disillusioned Ryan Adams fans everywhere” while our own Now Magazine declared it “a marvelously intimate feat of singer-songwriting craft on par with Ron Sexsmith’s best work.” Idols Of Exile marks a powerful move forward for Collett; a summary of his time spent juggling a burgeoning solo career and a family, all the while honing his song craft touring the world with Broken Social Scene. The album features performances from many of Jason’s closest friends; including most of the Broken Social Scene (Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning, Justin Peroff) and extended Broken Social Scene; Metric’s Emily Haines and James Shaw; Stars’ Amy Millan and Evan Cranley; Apostle Of Hustle’s Andrew Whiteman and Julian Brown; Do Make Say Think’s Charles Spearin; and Feist. Jason’s also enlisted some of Canada’s finest to play on Idols Of Exile including, Andrew Cash, Chris Brown, Tony Sherr, Bob Egan, Jason Tait, Afie, Julie Penner and Liam O’Neil. -
Bio// Jason Collett // Idols of Exile // June 2005
BIO // JASON COLLETT // IDOLS OF EXILE // JUNE 2005 Most singer/songwriters are lonely souls with only a stool, an acoustic guitar and a heart-worn sleeve. Not Jason Collett. Oh sure, the Broken Social Scene guitarist has his instrument and a stack of intimate tales to tell—but his new solo album, Idols of Exile, sounds more like a house party. Since 2001, Collett has been considered the indispensable lynchpin of Toronto’s booming indie scene, thanks largely to his casual (and still occasional) star-studded songwriting night known as Radio Mondays. Of course, most of these tunesmiths—such as Hayden, Kathleen Edwards, Weakerthans and most of the Arts & Crafts family—weren’t stars yet. But Collett’s beloved community-building series solidified the Toronto indie movement that would soon take off worldwide and connected Collett with his future social scene. Collett was asked to join Broken Social Scene after their breakthrough album You Forgot It In People, but he was a solo artist first and never stopped writing his own tunes. When pressed for influences for his more roots-based style, he cites Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson and Nick Lowe. “My stuff is based around songs and the Social Scene thing is based around busting songs wide open,” he says. “My thing is more schooled.” But after putting his own music on the backburner—aside from 2003’s internationally-acclaimed Motor Motel Love Songs (which was actually a compilation of earlier efforts)—Collett is ready to fulfill his promise with Idols of Exile, his proper Arts & Crafts debut. “This is the first time anyone has ever given me any money to make a record,” he says.
