Broken Social Scene<\/a> are back with a new album called \u2018Remember The Humans\u2019. Check out the lead single \u2018Not Around Anymore\u2019 below, as well as details of new live shows.<\/p>\n The forthcoming record will mark the first from the Canadian group in nearly a decade, and reunites the Toronto collective with producer David Newfeld, who helmed their breakthrough \u2018You Forgot It In People\u2019 (2002) and self-titled 2005 album.<\/p>\n It is set for release on May 8 via City Slang in the UK and Europe, and via Arts & Crafts in North America. Visit here to pre-order<\/a>.<\/p>\n For this record, the band share that the timing feels uncannily right, as it touches on themes of feeling overstimulated and overwhelmed by modern life, and yet also having a profound sense of dislocation at the same time.<\/p>\n It features 12 songs on the tracklist, and the first preview of the record is available today (Tuesday February 3) in the form of lead single \u2018Not Around Anymore\u2019.<\/p>\n The track takes on a subtly nuanced, yet comforting feeling throughout, with lyrics that centre around the need to take a step back from external pressures, and embrace simple pleasures in life.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no need to hide here anymore\/ there\u2019s no need to try here anymore\/ there\u2019s no need to lie here anymore\/ \u2018cause it\u2019s all gone away\/ I guess it\u2019s called the times<\/em>,\u201d frontman Kevin Drew sings in the nostalgic-leaning opening lines.<\/p>\n
