LIVE AT THE PHOENIX CONCERT THEATRE (Cover Art)Ġ1 Intro / Late Nineties Bedroom Rock For Missionaries / Shampoo Suicide This collection features songs from You Forgot It In People, select tracks from their follow up self-titled record (including a 15 minute rendition of "It's All Gonna Break"), and the rarity "Jimmy and the Photocall," a long-time fan favorite that never made it on to an album! BUY / STREAM LIVE AT THE PHOENIX CONCERT THEATRE 2003 VIA BANDCAMP On this live bootleg, you'll hear a group of friends joyously performing for their community, the people of Toronto who supported them when Broken Social Scene was just a two-person instrumental curiosity, before all the awards, the late night television performances, and invites to Glastonbury and Lollapalooza. Pitchfork had called the album "endlessly replayable, perfect pop" giving it a Best New Music designation and the BBC called it "absolutely, utterly essential," setting into motion the band's swift ascent to global recognition. The record had been released the previous year and was already on its journey to becoming one of the most celebrated indie albums of the decade. The band had just returned from a tour that took them across the US, UK, and Europe in support of their sophomore album, You Forgot It In People. LP includes the vinyl-only bonus track "Old Dead Young".From December 3rd to 5th in 2003, indie rock collective Broken Social Scene performed the three sold out hometown shows at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto. Artwork layout and design by two-time JUNO Award-winner (and Broken Social Scene's drummer) Justin Peroff and kimikimo. 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.įirst 500 run vinyl featured coke bottle clear vinyl (sold out), 140g double-LP still available, gatefold jacket (matte UV), printed vinyl sleeves (matte UV), and a 28 page booklet with stitched spine affixed to jacket. Hug Oo 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 and then some. 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. Founded in ‘99 by Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, the new album features 15 players including original members Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw of Metric, Amy Millan and Evan Cranley of Stars, Charles Spearin and Ohad Benchetrit of Do Make Say Think, and Grammy-nominated Leslie Feist. Hug Of Thunder marks the fifth studio album from Canadian alt-rock supergroup Broken Social Scene, their first in seven years.
