"7/4 (Shoreline)" comes from Broken Social Scene's self-titled third album, the follow-up to You Forgot It in People, and it hands the lead vocal to Leslie Feist. She wrote the words with Kevin Drew, and the writing credit stretches across seven names: Drew, Feist, Brendan Canning, Jason Collett, Justin Peroff, Charles Spearin and Andrew Whiteman, which tells you plenty about how this sprawling outfit works.
The album around it kept the crew from You Forgot It in People and pulled in fresh hands on top, among them k-os, Jason Tait of the Weakerthans and Murray Lightburn of the Dears. Early domestic copies came with a bonus EP, EP to Be You and Me, its title a wink at Marlo Thomas's children's record Free to Be... You and Me.
