Two new Broken Social Scene songs


With the April 30th release of new album Forgiveness Rock Record imminent, and with lead track "World Sick" having been available for a while now, Broken Social Scene have decided to put up a couple more new songs on their website. Never a band to rush things, it has now been almost five years since the release of the superlative Broken Social Scene, and I can honestly say that no other album this year has me as excited as his one. With good reason, too, judging by these songs; several listens in, and "World Sick" really does stand out as something striking, whilst "Forced To Love" is an upbeat, instantly catchy track along the lines of "Cause = Time". "All To All", meanwhile, is very restrained, the kind of slow-burner they have always done so well. The albums Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning put out whilst Broken Social Scene were on hiatus were decent enough, but it's definitely good to have the band back together. In a recent interview, Kevin Drew talked about the new album, amongst other things.

1. World Sick
