Broken Social Scene return with their new album, “Remember The Humans,” out today via Arts & Crafts. The LP, their first in nearly a decade, is a return to family, reuniting Broken Social Scene with David Newfeld, producer of “You Forgot It In People,” and Broken Social Scene.
With the release, the band also shares the focus track “Only The Good I Keep” with Hannah Georgas stepping forward to lead the track. In true BSS fashion, Kevin Drew ultimately ceded his own vocals, recognizing the song had fully taken shape in her hands.
“As for the earlier process of the song I was involved in, Kevin invited me to hang out at the studio with him and Dave Newfeld one afternoon and listen to some demos they’d been working on,” Georgas said. “He sent me home with a few of the tracks we heard that day, and one in particular really stuck with me. It had this simple but captivating drum and piano part.
“I started writing lyrics and melodies over it,” she said. “I wanted to write about what my teenage years felt like…what it sounded like, what it looked like, what it felt like. It kinda became a reflection on the hardships I faced growing up, as well as the things that helped me make it through adolescence.”
The video for “Only The Good I Keep” was co-directed by Drew and Jordan Allen.
Next month the band will embark on the “All The Feelings Tour” with Metric, joined by support from Stars. The run kicks off June 8 in Austin, continues through October and spans North America, Europe, and the UK.
Tour tickets are available here.
