Beautiful Broken Pieces is built on a foundation of inspiration, hope, and vulnerability with Martin encouraging listeners to speak up, fostering healing and hope through his music.Īnother standout track from the album, “Honour Song,” was written as a tribute to residential school children and tackles a somber subject with a message of unity, healing, and forgiveness. This album, inspired by the late music icon Chris Cornell, delves deep into Martin’s emotions and resulted in his most honest and vulnerable work to date. The album is a collaborative effort with co-writer and co-producer Justin Abedin, who previously collaborated with Martin on the Billboard-charting hit “Free to Fly” in 2017.

The usual suspects are mostly present: Feist, Emily Haines and Amy Millan, as well as members of Do Make Say Think, Tortoise and even The Sea and Cake's Sam Prekop.įorgiveness Rock Record will stream here in its entirety until its release on May 4. Still, it wouldn't be a Broken Social Scene album without a string of guests. Then there's the guitar-driven fist-pumper "Forced to Love," the soaring and funky horn section of "Art House Director," and the sweet synth-pop mantra "Sentimental X's," which gives way to a rapturous chorus of female voices and swirling keyboards. That said, there are plenty of grandly rocking moments, well suited for this summer's many outdoor festivals: The slow-building jam of "World Sick" begins with a moody electronic soundscape and a clean groove, but climaxes with blissful orchestrated cacophony. From the yearning of "Sweetest Kill" to the fizzy electronics and plucky strings of "All to All" to the off-kilter loops and ambient sounds of "Ungrateful Little Father," McEntire's tasteful musical sculpting has added layered nuance which brings out the best in Drew and the various singers. While there's still a cascading exuberance to Drew and Canning's work, the songs convey a tighter sense of focus and sonic consistency. Both changes are felt immediately on Forgiveness Rock Record. It also brought in John McEntire, the veteran Chicago producer and multi-instrumentalist best known for his work with Tortoise and The Sea and Cake. This time out, the group has been pared down to a leaner, more manageable core of musicians (Drew, Canning, Charles Spearin, Andrew Whiteman, Justin Peroff and relative newcomers Lisa Lobsinger and Sam Goldberg). Their latest album is Forgiveness Rock Record, and it's Broken Social Scene's first since 2005. These days, after a pair of solo albums under the banner of "Broken Social Scene Presents," the two are getting the band back together. From the beginning, the group's spiritual and musical identity has been driven by its co-founders, Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning. And while many of those side bands have found great success in the mainstream and transitioned into full-time gigs, Broken Social Scene carries on. When it got started, Broken Social Scene could balloon to 15 or more people on stage, operating much like a rock 'n' roll boot camp for musicians to collaborate and cut their teeth. At its center is Broken Social Scene, which functions as the connective tissue for a sprawling array of satellite acts. As a vital part of the last decade's Canadian rock explosion, Toronto has been an incubator for the likes of Feist, Jason Collett, Stars and Metric in the process, it's become a part of indie-rock folklore.
It's hard to deny the influence of Toronto's expansive independent music community. Broken Social Scene returns with a leaner core of musicians on its latest album, Forgiveness Rock Record.
