BSS Hug of Thunder

Broken Social Scene announce new album 'Hug of Thunder,' playing The Meadows

Broken Social Scene released their new single “Halfway Home” in March, and today they announced their first album since 2010’s Forgiveness Rock Record. It’s called Hug of Thunder, and it comes out on July 7 via City Slang/Arts & Crafts. It includes “Halfway Home” and 11 other songs. As mentioned, it features Feist (whose excellent new album just came out), who told the NY Times that she wrote one song and contributed to about six others. “My only caveat going in was I want to actually contribute — I can’t commit if I’m just singing oohs and aahs,” she said.

The album also includes Metric members Emily Haines and James Shaw, Stars members Amy Millan and Evan Cranley, and others. Artwork above. Tracklist below.

This morning, BSS were announced for NYC’s The Meadows festival. They have other upcoming dates too. All are listed below.
