In early 2003, the Canadian/Toronto based indie-collective known simply as Broken Social Scene quietly released their sophomore album to an unsuspecting audience. You Forgot it in People went on to become one of the most critically acclaimed releases of recent years, selling over 70,000 units in the U.S. (double that world-wide) and garnering heaps of praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Spin and the New York Times. YFIIP is now hailed as the touch-stone album that sparked the infiltration of Canadian music on to the international map (think: The Dears, Arcade Fire, Death From Above 1979, Feist, Stars).

For two and a half years BSS embarked on a grueling world tour, blowing away audiences from Canada to the U.S., Europe and Japan. In America, BSS were invited to perform along-side some of their indie-rock heroes including The Pixies and Dinosaur Jr.

On October 10, Shiny will release the new self-titled studio album from Broken Social Scene. Recorded over the last two years it encompasses everything you’ve hoped for – the Broken Social Scene you love – but with a maturity and brilliance that showcases their growth from the innocence heard on YFIIP. Initial copies of the album will include a limited edition bonus disc entitled “EP To Be You And Me” which includes 24 minutes of additional material.

It’s all there... the anthemic pop-rock ensembles, layers of shimmering sound and texture, arm-raising horn sections, and even beloved quiet moments to catch your breath.

Broken Social Scene wasn’t supposed to work. It still isn’t supposed to. But some things are best left broken.
