Building up to their first new album in seven years, Broken Social Scene have shared the title track from their forthcoming Hug of Thunder, featuring vocals from once-and-future BSS member Leslie Feist. With its unwavering drum-machine, chittering guitar section and Feist’s trademark murmur, it serves as a cool contrast to the untamed jubilance in the band’s first lead-in, “Halfway Home.” Listen to the new tune below.
Broken Social Scene have also announced a full U.S. tour, their first in six years. Frightened Rabbit and The Belle Game are set to open for the group on select dates.
Hug of Thunder is out July 7 on Arts & Crafts (preorder here). See the band’s tour dates—with more to be announced soon—below, and familiarize yourself with the Canadian collective’s expansive universe through our 2016 ranking of Broken Social Scene’s side projects.
