Shawn Hewitt has spent the last five years toeing the Toronto underground, building buzz without the aid of a full-length album. His carnal blend of indie, art rock and soul has transfixed audiences and Spare Hearts is his attempt to bottle his stage show for listeners at home. The album's ambition makes it a bit daunting from the outset as it's...

Scarborough, Ontario's Shawn Hewitt is a peculiar genre-hopping master of "Afro-Kraut," the odd yet delicious fusion of Afrobeat and Krautrock. After almost a year of buzz and hype, having opened for the likes of K-OS and The Dears, we are finally allowed to devour the first fruits of his prog-soul-hybrid labours with The Soft Society,...

Toronto's Shawn Hewitt started attracting attention for his performances six years ago, won the Fan's Choice Award at 2004's North By Northeast Music Festival, and released his The Soft Society debut EP a year later, so it's about time that he put out his first full album.

By Joel McConvey (CHARTattack) February 28, 2005 3:00 pm
Shawn Hewitt won't be Toronto's best-kept secret for much longer. The ambitious, ingenious purveyor of Afro-kraut/ Neu!-soul/ any-other-genre-tag-made-up-explicitly for Hewitt's awesome blend of funk, trance-rock and classic soul has finally finished his debut EP and it promises to be a doozie. Produced by Ian Blurton, who must be...
