And if you’ve ever fallen in love with Broken Social Scene - as many of us have - it is a perfect return that was truly worth the wait.Ī beautiful, limited edition vinyl version of the record is also available for pre-order. Hug Of Thunder is righteous but warm, angry but loving, melodic but uncompromising. The record’s twelve songs refract the band’s varying emotions, methods, and techniques in ways that not only reference their other albums, but surpass them. Since their inception in the early Aughts, BSS have always pushed sonic boundaries while remaining reverent of a perfect chorus almost twenty years down the line, Hug Of Thunder sharpens that balance. It is a panoramic, expansive album that manages to be both epic and intimate and like all things BSS, in troubled times, it offers a serotonin rush of positivity. Hug Of Thunder is everything BSS fans love from the Canadian collective and then some, an album overflowing with glorious open chords, multi-voice harmonies, spacious psychedelia-tinted breakdowns, and more. “Hug Of Thunder” follows the release of the song “Halfway Home,” which the band performed to rapturous response on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert at the end of March. Today, the title track of the album has been revealed via Zane Lowe’s show on Beats 1.
