It’s been a busy start to 2019 for Broken Social Scene. The collective released their new EP, Let’s Try The After Vol. 1 in February and soon after announced a series of residencies in Toronto, New York, Montreal, Los Angeles and Seattle, with more to follow. Today, they share a full slate of SXSW shows, including a very special performance of their classic, You Forgot It In People, performed in its entirety at the Arts & Crafts showcase, the record label co-owned by the band’s Kevin Drew.

This past weekend, Broken Social Scene performed on Live From Here With Chris Thile in Minneapolis, bringing in Prince’s legendary, long-time horn section The Hornheads to perform with them. Listen to the full episode here.

Let’s Try The After – Vol 1 is out now. The EP follows 2017’s Hug of Thunder, which saw the collective exploring new ground while maintaining the awesome dynamics that have made Broken Social Scene one of the most beloved alternative bands of the last fifteen years.  “Such forceful beauty—a sense of indefinable, life-affirming ecstasy—is practically woven into Broken Social Scene’s DNA at this point,” said Pitchfork. “And Let’s Try the After is proof that their genetic makeup is as complicatedly pure as ever.” Last week it was announced that a forthcoming Broken Social Scene release is to be expected on Record Store Day. More details to be announced soon.
