Last week, the 2002 track &#8220;Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl&#8221; earned them their first <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ca.billboard.com\/music\/rock\/broken-social-scene-anthems-certification\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gold-certified<\/a> record in their homeland of Canada.<\/p>\n<p><em>Remember The Humans<\/em> was produced by David Newfeld. &#8220;There&#8217;s a different kind of honesty in this record,&#8221; Charles Spearin says. &#8220;We&#8217;ve had success, we&#8217;ve lost friends, we&#8217;ve lost parents, we&#8217;re at this &#8216;what happens next?&#8217; stage in life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Drew adds, &#8220;In 2026, you&#8217;re going to see a lot of resurgence of people going back to the roots of who they are, because things in their lifetime have gotten quite lost. I think we&#8217;ve let each other down, and I think it&#8217;s art that always tries to prevail, and tries to get us back on track.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Metric&#8217;s &#8220;Victim Of Luck&#8221; is out today, about which Emily Hains says:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>The song &#8220;Victim Of Luck&#8221; and really the entire album is about the romance of a less than perfect life. It\u2019s about dropping the mask of self-consciousness and vanity. It was a long journey for me to get out of my own way and I wanted this song to be a rallying cry for that, better late than never.\u00a0You can be as much a victim of good luck as bad. So when we started out yes we were broke and we were playing to ten people and there was nothing for us to fall back on but we refused to give up, and it\u2019s not as though we\u2019re all superstar billionaires now, but that was never what we were after. It turns out the grind is the thing you wouldn\u2019t trade and the bonds you made can\u2019t be faked. What we wanted is what we have and we\u2019re not victims of anything. We dedicated our lives to each other and it\u2019s the best feeling in the world.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"\/><p><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Romanticize The Dive<\/em> was produced by Gavin Brow with co-producers Jimmy Shaw, Liam O\u2019Neil, and mix engineer John O\u2019Mahoney.<\/p>\n<p>Below, watch the music videos for &#8220;Not Around Anymore&#8221;
