BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE stream new album 'Hug of Thunder' in full ahead of release this Friday!


Canadian collective stream their first new album in 7 years in full ahead of it's release on Friday!

Today, Broken Social Scene are streaming their first new album in seven years 'Hug Of Thunder,' in full online ahead of it's release on Friday, July 7th via City Slang. 

The record’s twelve songs refract the band’s varying emotions, methods, and techniques in ways that not only reference their other albums, but surpass them. Hug Of Thunder is righteous but warm, angry but loving, melodic but uncompromising.  And if you’ve ever fallen in love with Broken Social Scene - as many of us have - it is a perfect return that was truly worth the wait.  

Stream 'Hug of Thunder' here via NPR: http://n.pr/2tBMxVR

Produced by Joe Chiccarelli and mixed by Shawn Everett, Hug Of Thunder is everything BSS fans love from the Canadian collective and then some, an album overflowing with glorious open chords, multi-voice harmonies, spacious psychedelia-tinted breakdowns, and more.  It is a panoramic, expansive album that manages to be both epic and intimate; and like all things BSS, in troubled times, it offers a serotonin rush of positivity.  Since their inception in the early Aughts, BSS have always pushed sonic boundaries while remaining reverent of a perfect chorus; almost twenty years down the line, Hug Of Thunder sharpens that balance.
