Broken Social Scene – Forgiveness Rock Record (CD)
Broken Social Scene CDs
Product Details
Toronto's most beloved collective had already reshaped what a rock band could look like, with a rotating cast that at various points included Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning, Feist, Emily Haines, and Stars members, blurring the line between supergroup and scene. Forgiveness Rock Record captures BSS at a different kind of crossroads, channeling the tightness of two years of heavy touring into songs built for the stage rather than the studio collage.
With the new album, the first Broken Social Scene record following the acclaimed Broken Social Scene Presents... series, the band decided it was time to try something new. As a core six-piece who had spent most of 2007 and 2008 on the road, Drew, Canning, Spearin, Whiteman, Goldberg and Peroff spent early 2009 working on new material in Toronto. The pairing down of the band's massive personnel list for the first time proved extremely fruitful; they created spacious songs written as a band by a band, resulting in more cohesive, melody-driven compositions than previous BSS output.
