We played a show in the summertime when all of us were together and I think it was our favorite show. So, right at the end, everybody made it on. It's not like that anymore." But when we brought Johnny to Toronto and set up it was immediately like old times. We thought, "It's OK, we can do this without them. KD: Well, there was a point where it looked like it was going to be a core-member record and we weren't going to get those people because they were so busy Stars were making a record, Metric was on the road. Pitchfork: Was it tough to get people like Feist, and members of Stars and Metric involved this time around? I called Newf up and told him what was going on and he gave his blessing, and that actually was a catalyst for him and I getting back on the same page, which I'm really grateful for because he is one of my favorite people in the world. So we were quite scared to take a lot of it on ourselves. He was very involved- I mean, he used to come on the talkback and suggest lyric changes. A bunch of us didn't know how we were going to do this record without Newfeld because he played such a massive, massive role in all our success. So we had to start figuring out what we were going to do in terms of Newf, because there were still issues that I hadn't worked out with him. It was so much fun, and that's when the wheels started turning. Then, in October 2008, we fooled around and had a session in John's studio. KD: It goes back to when Evan Cranley was trying to figure out where to record their album In Our Bedroom After the War, and- knowing that I was a massive fan- he just casually said to me, "I spoke to your boy John and he seemed like he was into producing the new Stars album, but we're going to Vancouver." I just kind of spit my cigarette out and was like, "What do you mean? You can work with John McEntire?!" Pitchfork: After working in Toronto with producer Dave Newfeld on You Forgot It In People and Broken Social Scene, you decided to go to Chicago with Tortoise's John McEntire for the new album. I don't think we've ever really entered this territory of just feeling amazing about everything like it is right now. I love the self-titled record to death but it was difficult to make.
That's when this album's core six-piece formed. And then, in 2008, Andrew and Charlie returned, and we ended up touring the world that whole year. On this new record, Sam brings such a melodic sound- we call him "Stadium Sam," he's our stadium rock guy. But we ended up with a great band and we found Sam Goldberg, who is now a full-time member. And Brendan and Justin and I had to go out and find a new band and try to make this "Broken Social Scene Presents" thing work on the road. I know I say it a lot- it almost sounds like I use it as some marketing tool- but if there was any time when we were going to break up it was after that tour. After the tour for Broken Social Scene in 2006, it was a very confusing time. Kevin Drew: That's why the "Broken Social Scene Presents" records worked. Their last studio LP was 2017’s Hug of Thunder.Pitchfork: Your last album came out five years ago but, considering the "Broken Social Scene Presents" albums from you and Brendan and the touring you guys did behind them, it's almost like you never left. The second extra is a cassette mixtape of unreleased instrumental compositions.Įarlier this year, Broken Social Scene issued the career-spanning Old Dead Young: B-Sides & Rarities set. Along with Nadler, 13 visual artists contributed to the graphic novel, which will be released along with a 10" vinyl single of “Lover’s Spit” that includes the original album version, as well as a stripped back B-side with Feist on vocals.
