love is a dirty word

Jason Collett has a clattery sound to his music that I love, with a free-keeling howl in his voice that he plays fast and loose. He is mightily impressive live, friends with Feist from their mutual Broken Social Scene days, and has just announced an aptly-named new album Rat A Tat Tat coming out in March on the impeccable Arts & Crafts label from Canada.
Listen to Jason’s new song “Love Is A Dirty Word” here, and download the mp3 for free on his website if you like what you hear. I certainly do.

…And if you’re lucky enough to live in Toronto, Jason is doing his annual Basement Revue Shows every Tuesday in December at the Dakota Tavern.

Yes. Delightful.

It is ALWAYS too long since the release of the last Jason Collett album. I like how this sampler is short and sweet – the man is such a tease!
