Following the release of their album Remember The Humans (Arts & Crafts), which has drawn critical acclaim from around the world, Broken Social Scene will play a hometown show on Saturday June 6 at Nathan Phillips Square in front of Toronto City Hall. The free show is a charitable fundraiser benefiting Toronto healthcare via the UHN Foundation and Michael Garron Hospital Foundation. Broken Social Scene is on at 6:15pm, with sets by Broken Social Scene member Feist, plus Alessia Cara and Paul Langlois rounding out the bill.

Sunday, June 7, will see the release of the retrospective documentary It’s All Gonna Break for the first time globally outside of Canada. The film by director Stephen Chung pulls back the curtain on the Toronto indie music scene of the early Aughts through his relationship with his friends in the trailblazing band, Broken Social Scene. This unconventional POV documentary features Chung’s never-before-seen archival footage capturing a creatively rich era in Toronto and paying tribute to the power of indie music, friendship and the artists who started out in Toronto bars before rocketing to global fame. It’s All Gonna Break will premiere globally (outside Canada) on the film director’s channel on YouTube this Sunday, June 7, at 3pm ET.

On June 8, BSS will embark on their “All The Feelings Tour” with Metric, joined by support from Stars. The run continues through October and spans North America, Europe, and the UK. Both New York City shows (July 30 & 31) are sold out, while the first San Francisco date (June 21) has also sold out and the second (June 22) is running low on tickets. Additional highlights include Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre on June 16 and Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on August 4, as well as a slot at Halifax Jazz Festival on July 11. In addition, Broken Social Scene are confirmed to play as part of FIFA’s Fan Festival in Vancouver on June 26.

Remember The Humans earned a #6 debut on the Billboard Top Canadian Albums chart, and landed the #1 top spot on the NACC Top 200 chart during the week of release, driven in part by album single “Only The Good I Keep.” The compelling song, which will go to commercial radio on June 22, features Hannah Georgas stepping forward with striking clarity and control, leading one of the band’s most infectious tunes to date. Prior to hitting the road this month, Broken Social Scene performed the song to sold-out crowds at intimate in-store performances at Rough Trade New York, London, and Berlin.

Remember The Humans marks Broken Social Scene’s first album in nearly a decade. It is also a return to family, reuniting Broken Social Scene with David Newfeld, producer of the seminal You Forgot It In People and Broken Social Scene. It is the sound of a band deepening rather than reinventing, exploring the emotional implications of forms they have spent over 20 years shaping. In a culture defined by abstraction and distance, BSS have made a record that insists that we remember each other, that we remember the human.
