Renowned Canadian songwriter, and member of the now defunct Broken Social Scene, Jason Collett has announced the release of a new two-disc set, featuring an LP of new material as well as career-spanning retrospective album. The new LP, titled Reckoning, was produced by Howie Beck and includes guest appearances by Afie Jurvanen (Bahamas), Canadian folk singer Basia Bulat, Broken Social Scene frontman Kevin Drew and labelmates Zeus. The retrospective album, titled Essential Cuts, contains two previously unreleased b-sides featuring eleven-songs from throughout Collet’s career. Reckoning/Essential Cuts is set for release on September 25 via the Canadian imprint Arts & Crafts. Fans who preorder the album will receive a copy of Essential Cuts upon purchase.

In support of the album, Collett will hit the road for a series of East Coast dates that kick off with a CD release show on October 2 in Toronto. Check a video for the Reckon album track “I Wanna Rob A Bank” along with the full list of tour dates below.
