Audio Review: Broken Social Scene – Hug of Thunder

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.
