As a member of Toronto indie-rock collective Broken Social Scene, Jason Collett co-writes messy, orchestral indie-rock tunes. Alone, Collett keeps things more straightforward, although the folk pop on his fourth solo record, Here's to Being Here, is full of smart touches — some harmonica here, a laser-beam synth line there. Collett alternates between a Dylanesque drawl and a cracked croon on songs that stay warmly melodic. "Sorry Lori" is a lightly grooving number with backing "sha-la-las." Still, you'd think a guy this detail-oriented would craft sharper metaphors than "Roll on over, you clouds of doom/A silver lining is coming through."
