Exclusive: Broken Social Scene Returns After 9 Years—'Remember the Humans'
After nine years, Canadian collective Broken Social Scene returns with *Remember the Humans*. The sprawling indie-rock ensemble, known for defying the rigid band structure, reunites for new material and live dates. Their comeback matters because their fluid, collaborative approach reshaped 2000s indie—proving community can outlast the archaic paradigms of rock stardom.
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.
