Broken Social Scene Unveils First Album in 9 Years: “Remember the Humans”
Broken Social Scene returns with *Remember the Humans*, their first album in nine years. The Canadian collective—known for its fluid, collaborative ethos—delivers a vibrant, politically charged LP rejecting rigid band tropes. Following frontman Brendan Canning’s solo experiment, this comeback reaffirms their DIY spirit and communal creativity. Critics hail it as a timely, urgent statement on connection in fragmented times.
Canadian collective Broken Social Scene have always been a funny answer to the classical idea of a band. The classical idea being a tight group of individuals who churn out songs with everyone playing their specific part of their designated instrument. And maybe attempt to look cool on stage doing just that. Founding member Brendan Canning already tried his hand at this archaic paradigm in the wake of the alternative rock boom Powered by MTV, to not much avail.
