Broken Social Scene return with with their new album, Remember The Humans, on May 8 via Arts & Crafts. The LP was produced by David Newfeld, who worked on their previous albums You Forgot It in People (2002) and self-titled (2005). Ahead of the LP’s arrival, the band are sharing “The Call,” The Track Follows Previous Singles “Not Around Anymore” and “Hey Amanda.”

Remember the Humans was shaped by reunion and loss in equal measure. When Kevin Drew and Newfeld reconnected after nearly 20 years apart, one hangout became what they call “a hurricane of fun.” During the recording, both lost their mothers – a shared grief that drew them closer. As Newfeld recalls, “our moms would have wanted us to do this, and get it right after 20 years of not working together.”

Drew may be the designated driver, but collaborators on Remember the Humans, including Hannah Georgas, Lisa Lobsinger, and Feist, step into the foreground throughout the record, shaping songs with a sense of collective authorship that has always defined the group’s ethos.

The songs work because no one fully commands them. But this is where Newfeld matters most. As Charles Spearin puts it, “his production suits the chaos of our songwriting so well…he’s got a childlike energy that is really contagious.”
