The student has outgrown the teacher. The disciple has surpassed the master. The teapot has overtaken the studded wristband. And so on. Whichever famous or fabricated catchphrase you use, it's irrelevant. Amy Millan, permanent Stars member and frequent Broken Social Scene helper, is hardly an amateur in the music biz. And apologies to her bandmates in the Can-conglomerates above, but anyone who has seen either Stars or BSS knows that Millan has been regularly stealing the show for years. To further showcase her varied talents, the gifted singer and player will once again show off her songwriting chops when she releases Masters of the Burial September 8 through Arts & Crafts. Masters of the Burial comes after her well-received Honey From the Tombs debut from 2006.
