As the de facto leader of Broken Social Scene and as a solo artist, Kevin Drew's lyrics tend to be more frank and sexually graphic than those of your typical big-ticket indie act. With "Good Sex", the first single from his upcoming LP Darlings, it appears Drew's finally going to drop the high socio-psycho-sexual concepts—Or maybe not, since maybe he's settled down on us: "Good sex should never make you feel hollow." It's a sentiment with which anyone can agree, but lest we forget who we're dealing with, the very next line is as follows: "Good sex should never make you feel clean."

So there's mixed messages, especially within a bouncy, piano-laced Northern Soul arrangement as steady and uplifting as the homebody commitment expressed in the chorus, "But I'm still breathin' with you, baby." In the end, though it's just another fine example of what Drew's been doing for the past decade: trying to imbue some kinkiness in the grand schematics we expect to be kinda boring, whether it's monogamy or big-ticket indie rock.
