Do Make Say Think + Nnamdi Ogbonnaya

Broken Social Scene isn't the only seminal Canadian act to come out of hiatus in 2017—instrumental rock outfit Do Make Say Think (which shares some members with BSS) also released its first album in nearly eight years, Stubborn Persistent Illusions. Filled with crisscrossing guitar melodies and triumphant crescendos, the record flirts with post-rock tropes and jazz-inflected flourishes over the course of several expansive tracks that rarely wear out their welcome. Local rapper, drummer and bassist Nnamdi Ogbonnaya opens the show.
