Spring has sprung and this year’s season has been blessed with the release of some fantastic records that I am personally looking forward to quite a bit. So take a peek at what’s coming out May 4th – a new Broken Social Scene album.
Broken Social Scene:
Forgiveness Rock Record
I love Broken Social Scene because they represent the coming together of a very large chunk the Canadian independent music. Members of Broken Social Scene are also members of Apostle of Hustle, Land of Talk, Metric, Stars, The Weakerthans, etc… Their sound is characteristically layered, featuring orchestrations of several guitars, brass instruments and horns, woodwinds and strings. It all comes together to create this amazing texture of sound that builds up and rolls over you like a wave.
Dropping tomorrow, Forgiveness Rock Record is the first (official) Broken Social Scene release since their eponymous third album in 2005.
The entirety of the new album, Forgiveness Rock Record is streaming at their site. Make sure you check out the first track, World Sick.
