Broken Social Scene Offers “Texico Bitches” to Jimmy Fallon

Broken Social Scene played “Texico Bitches” on Jimmy Fallon, a tune that Evan Sawdey described as “joyously disposable”. Here’s what else he said about the song last month in his review of the Toronto band’s latest full-length Forgiveness Rock Record:

“Even on something as joyously disposable as ‘Texico Bitches’, Kevin Drew’s vulgar slang soon turns into a near plea for the Texico Bitches to stick around out of a fear of lonliness, the only line in the chorus being ‘I want to be fair’. The song is still catchy as all get-out, but the more time spent with these lyrics only shows just how dour Drew’s outlook can be. Marrying strangely dark lyrics to infectious harmonies is nothing new in pop music, but as is often the case, we get lost in tension between these opposing ends.”
