Broken Social Scene
Hug of Thunder
[Arts & Crafts]
Hug of Thunder marks a momentous moment in Broken Social Scene’s trajectory.
It simultaneously evokes the past and demonstrates a maturity in the band’s focus in their output.
Overall, the song structures remain coherent to their long-established musical architecture.
Though, few arrangements stand secluded like watchful towers overlooking clusters of buildings similar in design but distinct in their own colourful intensity.
Typically, a Broken Social Scene record is defined by an indulgence of chaotic composition; distorted guitars, enveloping drum lines and dramatic shifts in pace and tone. This is no exception.
