Info for Hug Of Thunder

Mit ihrem fünften Studioalbum melden sich Broken Social Scene zurück. Die Band wirde 1999 von Brendan Canning und Kevin Drew gegründet, die ein loses Musikprojekt mit wechselnden Musikern im Sinne hatten: ein Kollektiv. Auch auf "Hug Of Thunder" sind wieder jede Menge Bekannte dabei, die sonst bei anderen Bands spielen. Musiker von den Stars, Metric, Do Make Say Think, und auch Leslie Feist sind dabei. Es ist also nur naheliegend, dass mit "Hug Of Thunder“ in erster Linie opulenter, hymnischer Breitwandsound auf uns zu kommt, der manchmal auch seine zarten Seiten zeigt.

Das Musikerkollektiv hat sich sieben Jahre Zeit gelassen für ihr neues Album. Kein Wunder, denn die 17! Mitglieder sind alle auch in anderen Projekten aktiv. Jetzt hat sich die Band um Kevin Drew und Brendan Canning wieder zusammengefunden und sprüht vor Spielfreude. Wieder gemeinsam im Studio zu jammen, Songs zu schreiben, Dinge probieren, das hatten sie alle, auch Feist, vermisst. Jeder konnte seine Ideen einbringen und das macht das Album auch so abwechslungsreich. Von Indierock- Hymnen bis zu melancholischen Balladen reicht die Palette, welche Songs es auf die Platte geschafft haben, wurde gemeinsam entschieden. Die Botschaft von "Hug of Thunder" ist eindeutig: du bist nicht allein in diesen chaotischen, schweren Zeiten.

Broken Social Scene

Broken Social Scene were widely considered to have stolen the show at last year’s End of the Road festival: “Bruised, beautiful and chaotically epic, Broken Social Scene are huge, in both numbers and sound.” reported The Guardian, while “singer Kevin Drew is a charismatic preacher” observed NME.

Founded in 2002 by Kevin Drew and Brendan.

Canning, Broken Social Scene quickly established themselves as one of the most vital voices in independent music. Assembled by Drew, and made up of an assortment of musical friends, the band emerged fully-formed from their hometown of Toronto. They were an instantly engaging energetic entity: a tightly-knit community bursting at the seams with talent, personalities, incredible songs and many, many guitars. Their albums were cinematic, critically-acclaimed splashes of concept and melody, marrying a dizzying onslaught of sounds with finely-crafted choruses. The band’s ability to weave a plethora of voices and varied instrumentation into a brilliant postmodern aural onslaught launched them instantly onto the international stage. Live, their shows were notoriously epic, cathartic affairs, sometimes lasting over three hours. As a group, or on their own, Broken Social Scene’s members released some of the 00’s most notable independent albums, cementing their status as one of Canada’s most important musical exports.
