Broken Social Scene are streaming their first new album in seven years ‘Hug Of Thunder’, in full online ahead of it’s release on Friday, July 7th via Arts & Crafts/City Slang.

Produced by Joe Chiccarelli and mixed by Shawn Everett, Hug Of Thunder is everything BSS fans love from the Canadian collective and then some, an album overflowing with open chords, multi-voice harmonies, spacious psychedelia-tinted breakdowns, and more. It is a panoramic, expansive album that manages to be both epic and intimate; and like all things BSS, in troubled times.
