Broken Social Scene have released the wild music video for “Vanity Pail Kids” from their recently released album, Hug of Thunder.
The band’s long-awaited return has proven worth the wait for critics and fans alike. Pitchfork gave the album its coveted Best New Music honor, writing, “On their first album in seven years, Broken Social Scene distill their sound to a vital essence. The band is focused and renewed, invigorated by the missionary spirit of their best work.” The New York Times wrote, “Broken Social Scene’s music rejoices in what clever teamwork can construct.” NPR also agreed, saying “Hug of Thunder does not skimp.”
Due to high demand, Broken Social Scene have added a second show at Neptune Theatre in Seattle on October 22nd, tickets go on sale on Friday, July 21st and will be available here.
