About Remember The Humans

The collective’s first new album in nearly a decade is sentimental and combustible. It’s been almost a decade since Broken Social Scene’s last album. That doesn’t mean Toronto’s amorphous indie rock collective has been off the radar. They’ve toured frequently. They put out a career-spanning collection of B-sides and rarities. Past favorites “Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl” and “Lover’s Spit” permeate social media and the cultural ether. And of course members of the band’s continuously evolving lineup have been busy with solo projects and side quests. Still, it’s good to hear something new and chaotically beautiful from them. Remember the Humans reunites BSS with producer Dave Newfeld, who helped wrestle and define their sound on their breakthrough You Forgot It in People and self-titled follow-up in the early 2000s. The results are combustible: Guitars alternately perform acrobatics and therapy, banjos pop, the horn section both pulses and underlines, percussion rebounds around the mix, electronic textures hum and feed back. Lyrically, they’re sentimental about everything, including the bad ol’ times and the lasting effects of heartbreak. And then Leslie Feist materializes on “What Happens Now,” the album’s penultimate track, sounding like the ghost of a lost deer sent to guide you to the other side. Where she leads you to is closer “Parking Lot Dreams,” another minimalist devastator from leader Kevin Drew that will make any of your past/present/future romances feel mythical in your mind.
