Broken Social Scene Returns with Highly Anticipated Sixth Studio Album After a Decade-Long Hiatus.
In an exciting turn of events, Canadian indie rock legends Broken Social Scene have announced their highly anticipated sixth studio album, Remember the Humans, set to drop on May 8th. The album marks their first full-length release in nearly a decade and promises to deliver the signature woozy affirmation and shambolic joy that fans have come to expect from the band.
The album boasts an impressive lineup of familiar faces from the extended Broken Social Scene universe, including lead singer Kevin Drew, guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Charles Spearin, vocalist Feist, and many more. The addition of producer David Newfeld, who worked closely with the band on two of their most critically acclaimed albums in the 2000s, is sure to generate excitement among long-time fans.
Newfeld's involvement was a crucial part of the studio alchemy that defined Broken Social Scene's earlier work, and his return is a testament to the band's commitment to recapturing the magic of their formative period. The album's credits reveal a range of talents, with many collaborators having worked together on previous projects.
The news comes as no surprise to fans who have been eagerly awaiting new music from Broken Social Scene since their last full-length release in 2017. In recent years, the band has focused on releasing EPs and singles, with lead singer Kevin Drew hinting at a return to form and a renewed focus on their roots.
To celebrate the album's release, Broken Social Scene will be embarking on a summer tour alongside closely associated bands Metric and Stars. The All the Feelings Tour promises to be a celebration of lifelong friendship and creative communion amongst the Toronto legends, with dates set to kick off in early June in Austin, Texas, before wrapping up two months later back home in Ontario.
With Remember the Humans, Broken Social Scene is poised to deliver an album that will not only satisfy their devoted fan base but also introduce new music to a wider audience.

I'm so stoked to hear that Broken Social Scene is finally releasing new music! It's been ages since we've had a full-length album from them and the anticipation has been building up for fans like me 
. The fact that they're working with David Newfeld, who helped shape their sound back in the day, is gonna bring back all those nostalgic vibes 
. I'm also loving the tour lineup with Metric and Stars - it's gonna be a celebration of music and friendship 
. Can't wait to dive into Remember the Humans and see how they've managed to recapture that signature magic 
.
. The tour dates look amazing too, Metric and Stars are some of my faves! 
. They've got the right people on board, too - Feist, Kevin Drew... these guys are legends 
. And producer David Newfeld coming back to the mix is a huge plus, I'm sure it'll bring that same magic as their earlier work 
.
. The fact they're getting back into full-length releases is awesome, I just hope the wait was worth it 
. And hey, a summer tour with Metric and Stars? That sounds like an epic celebration of music 
I mean, have you seen her live performances? Mind. Blown. And it's awesome that David Newfeld is involved again - his production skills are what gave their earlier albums that special something. I'm definitely gonna be buying tickets to their tour ASAP, can't wait to see them live! 
. I'm so down for that summer tour too, seeing them with Metric & Stars will be EPIC! 
The tour with Metric and Stars is gonna be SO much fun!! Austin, TX, here we come!!! 
. What happened back in the day? Were they just on an extended break or did something go down that made them disappear for so long? And how do we know this new album is gonna be as good as their old stuff? We need some proof, fam 
. Give me a solid source or two before I start getting hyped 
.
. The lineup of guest vocals is pure perfection - Feist is a genius and her addition will bring so much depth to the record. And David Newfeld co-producing, yeah that's a match made in heaven 
. I'm loving the fact they're keeping it real with the tour dates too, not gonna sugarcoat anything 
. Can't wait to get my hands on Remember the Humans and experience all the woozy affirmation and shambolic joy for myself 
. That David Newfeld producer dude is like the secret ingredient to their magic sauce 
. And feist on vocals? 
I was born 90s kid and my parents used to drag me to all the Metric concerts in Canada back in the day. Seeing BSS, Metric & Stars live together would be a dream come true 
, the hype is real 
. Their live shows are always the best, can't wait to see them play Remember the Humans 
The summer tour with Metric and Stars sounds EPIC 
feist vocals are always a highlight too 
and a tour with metric & stars? yes please!
