BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE Forgiveness Rock Record (2010 UK 14-track 2-LP vinyl set - Founded back in 1999 by Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, Broken Social Scene very quickly established themselves as one of the most vital voices in independent music. Assembled by Drew, and made up of an assortment of musical friends, lovers, and strangers, the band emerged fully-formed from their hometown of Toronto in 2002. The band's ability to weave a plethora of voices, specific genre elements, and varied instrumentation into a brilliant postmodern aural pastiche launched them instantly onto the international stage. In producer John McEntire – a musical hero for many of the band's members – they found a fresh perspective on their own sound; this continued to fuel the creative process, resulting in nearly 30 songs written in and out of the studio, a number of which were put together as the first new Broken Social Scene record in five years. The new record is, like all Broken Social Scene albums, a record driven by love. Includes the single, 'Forced To Love'. Although not sealed, the sleeve and vinyl remain Near Mint!)
