Canadian indie-rock icons Broken Social Scene are releasing their first album since 2017 this spring, and touring with Metric and Stars this summer
are coming back this spring, and not a moment too soon. The many-membered Toronto band announced today that their sixth studio album,, will arrive May 8 on their own Arts and Crafts label. It’s their first full-length album in nearly a decade, and if the first single “Not Around Anymore” is any indication, it’s going to deliver plenty of the woozy affirmation and shambolic joy that Broken Social Scene do better than anyone.
reveal that this album features many familiar faces from the extended BSS universe, including singer Kevin Drew, guitarists/multi-instrumentalists Charles Spearin, Brendan Canning, Sam Goldberg, Andrew Whiteman, and Jimmy Shaw, drummer Justin Peroff, trombonist Evan Cranley, and more, plus vocals from, Amy Millan, Lisa Lobsinger, Ariel Engle, and Hannah Georgas. It’s a proper Broken Social Scene reunion, in other words. The name that will draw the most attention from longtime fans is that of producer David Newfeld, who was a crucial part of the studio alchemy that went into the band’s two best albums, 2002’s. This is huge news if you’re someone who treasures the over-stuffed, uncontainable, transcendent rock sound that Broken Social Scene achieved with Newfeld at the helm in the 2000s. A press bio accompanying the announcement says that Newfeld and Drew reconnected recently after many years out of touch, and notes that both of them lost their mothers during the making of. The producer is quoted as saying, “Our moms would have wanted us to do this, and get it right after 20 years of not working together.”that he already had new music in mind: “There is a next album. There’s a mission: to mellow things out a little bit, and get back to the roots of where it all started from.” Seven years later, it looks like that’s coming true.Jon Stewart Explains Why His Name Is in the Epstein Files: ‘This Is Actually True’100 Best Movies of the 21st Century.
