Broken Social SceneĪlthough she did not officially contribute to Broken Social Scene's first two albums, due to scheduling conflicts for BSS members Emily Haines and Leslie Feist, she was asked by former classmate Kevin Drew to "be the girl" and sing with the band for the release concert of the band's second album, You Forgot It in People. In June 2010, they released their fifth full-length album, The Five Ghosts. Their fourth album, In Our Bedroom After the War, was released in 2007 and was followed by the EP Sad Robots the following year. Stars' commercial breakthrough came with their 2004 album Set Yourself on Fire and the accompanying single " Ageless Beauty", which featured a lead vocal by Millan. Millan's influence was more evident on this album, and a number of the tracks were performed as duets between her and Torquil Campbell, establishing a style for which the band would become well known. Drummer Pat McGee was recruited as their fifth member prior to the release of their second album, Heart, in 2003. Desiring to return to Canada, but not wanting to move to Toronto, the band relocated to Montreal. As much of their debut album had been recorded prior to her joining, Millan’s involvement in 2001's Nightsongs was limited, although she did sing lead vocals on "Toxic Holiday". After receiving assurances that she would be actively involved in the songwriting process, Millan agreed to join the band. Feeling that Millan would be a good fit for the group, Cranley invited her to New York City to audition in December 1999. The line-up subsequently grew to incorporate Evan Cranley, with whom Millan had played gigs while a member of 16 Tons. Stars was formed by Torquil Campbell and Chris Seligman in New York City. However, Millan, missing a city where walking was encouraged over driving, returned to Toronto. While living there, her song with 16 tons "Bury Me" was added to the soundtrack of the film Drowning Mona. After the breakup of 16 Tons, Millan moved to Los Angeles. Upon returning to Toronto, she formed the roots-rock band 16 Tons and wrote many of the songs that she would use to launch her solo career several years later. After high school, Millan moved to Montreal for three years to attend Concordia University and gained experience as a solo performer by playing in coffee shops. Although short-lived, Edith’s Mission did play a sold out show at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto. Millan and Haines formed the band Edith’s Mission. She attended high school at Jarvis Collegiate, and later the Etobicoke School of the Arts where she studied drama alongside future Broken Social Scene bandmates Kevin Drew and Emily Haines.

#MILLAN DICTIONARY HOW TO#
Specs is a delight to hang out with! He is a low-key guy, who appreciates the little things in life and knows how to cherish his people! /Cks014yykXĪs an adverb, low-key suggests that something is happening to a moderate degree. As an adjective, low-key generally describes something as “relaxed” or “simple”-a low-key Friday night might involve some pizza and Netflix. In slang, low-key can be an adjective or an adverb. Chance the Rapper’s 2012 “U Got Me F****d Up,” for example, contains the lines: “Coolin’ with Mikey, low-key I rock / Mags on my bike, Tay like he chuck.” A century later, low-key expanded for something more casual or easygoing-chill.īy the late 2000s, low-key made a perhaps not-so low-key jump: It became an adverb characterizing doing something with a low intensity, moderation, or subtlety.īy 2010, an Urban Dictionary noted the adverbial low-key, which appears to have been further popularized by hip-hop music in the mid-2010s. We can see, then, how low-key would, by the 1890s, refer metaphorically to something quiet, restrained, or modest. In 1857, the reading primer Introductory Lessons in Reading and Elocution used low-key for the tone of voice that a person uses when speaking softly or whispering. Chuffey with looks of sharp hostility, and to defy him with many other ironical remarks, uttered in that low key which commonly denotes suppressed indignation.” Charles Dickens, for instance, wrote of it that way in his 1844 novel Martin Chuzzlewit: We can find low-key for “of a low pitch” in the early 19th century. Low-key would appear to have musical origins, characterizing something has a deeper, more muted, or darker tonal register.
