BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE PRESENTS YOU FORGOT IT IN PEOPLE HC (MR)
(W) Lonnie Nadler (A) Eric Orchard & Various (CA) Renee Nault
Paralleling the confluence that led a community of Toronto musicians to craft a winding audio epiphany, this project unites one writer and and 13 artists to create a series of intertwining vignettes inspired by the 2003 record, You Forgot It in People, on its 20th anniversary. Overseen by Broken Social Scene's Justin Peroff and Brendan Canning, writer Lonnie Nadler joins Eric Orchard, Scott Chantler, Ray Fawkes, Mike Feehan, Diana Nguyen, and more artists to be announced for a fully Canadian sequential art jam session. Within these pages, a collection of seemingly disparate strangers' lives weave in and out each others' orbits, touched equally by the mundane and unexplainable. (STL349879)
