Broken Social Scene Shares Hey Amanda

My wife and I are super excited about the return of Broken Social Scene, and in fact, we’ve already bought tickets to their Austin return this summer. On my end, I’m definitely appreciative of their sonic return, particularly as their new single pulls from their old-school strategy of songwriting. It kicks off nice and gentle, sort of a trickling bit of folk-pop, punctuated by some little bits of horn work in the background. Then, as it crosses the one minute mark the track erupts into a joyous explosion, employing trademark harmonizing to the maximum effect. We’ve heard two track from Remember the Humans, and I’ll admit this one is my favorites thus far; the record drops via Arts and Crafts on May 8th.

Broken Social Scene Are Back

It’s been over a decade since we heard fresh new music from Broken Social Scene, though I will own up to the fact that I generally try to find ways to sneak the band into my DJ sets, be that their own records or their side projects. Alas, the band return today with a jazzed up bit of indie rock, working with producer David Newfeld again to create this perfect mixture of horns and layered vocals. It’s a relaxing number, filtering horns through all the negative space to give a burst of liveliness to the subtle pop structure that pervades the tune. Really enjoying letting this kind of wash over me, especially as I hear there’s new of a Metric single and tour later in the day too! It’s Canada Day! Look for Remember the Humans on May 8th via Arts and Crafts.
