Broken Social Scene reconvene with longtime producer David Newfeld for Remember the Humans, a record that reconnects the Toronto collective with the collaborative spirit and expansive sound that has always defined them. Built from dense yet carefully balanced arrangements, the album weaves horns, guitars, voices, and electronics into immersive structures where melody remains central, never lost beneath the weight of sound.
Even at its most abstract, the music stays grounded: a bass line, a rhythmic pulse, or a simple hook pulls the listener back, underscoring the physical, hands-on nature of the group’s approach. This is music shaped as much by instinct as by design, with songs allowed to evolve organically in the studio.
True to form, Broken Social Scene function less as a fixed lineup than as an open collective. While Kevin Drew steers the project, collaborators including Hannah Georgas, Lisa Lobsinger, and Feist move confidently into the spotlight, lending their voices and perspectives to songs that feel shared rather than authored. Remember the Humans captures a band reaffirming its identity through cooperation, generosity, and the enduring power of people making music together.
