Remember The Humans
Broken Social Scene
Remember The Humans is the sixth studio album by Toronto indie rock collective Broken Social Scene, released on May 8, 2026 through Arts & Crafts (City Slang in Europe). It marks the band's first new album of original material in nearly nine years, following 2017's Hug of Thunder, and represents a significant reunion: the record brings back producer David Newfeld, who had shaped the group's sound on their landmark You Forgot It in People (2002) and self-titled 2005 album but had not worked with them in over two decades. The recording process was shadowed by grief — both co-founder Kevin Drew and Newfeld lost their mothers in close succession during sessions — and that shared loss permeates the album's emotional core. As bassist Brendan Spearin noted, "there's a different kind of honesty in this record. We've had success, we've lost friends, we've lost parents, we're at this 'what happens next?' stage in life." The 12-track, 49-minute record features contributions from vocalist Hannah Georgas, former touring member Lisa Lobsinger, and Leslie Feist — who takes the lead on the resurrected Hug of Thunder outtake "What Happens Now" — alongside current vocalist Jill Harris.
Sonically, as the Arts & Crafts label description puts it, the arrangements are "dense and enveloping — a lattice of horns, guitars, voices, and electronics — yet melody always remains sovereign, refusing to be swallowed by the sheer sound." The album opens with "Not Around Anymore," a horn-and-flute-laden meditation on loss and displacement, and moves through the energetic electro-indie burst of "The Call," the six-minute jazz-inflected chamber piece "This Briefest Kiss," and the cacophonous coming-of-age anthem "Hey Amanda," before arriving at the minimalist devastation of closer "Parking Lot Dreams," which Apple Music described as capable of making "any of your past/present/future romances feel mythical in your mind." Narc Magazine called it "vital, cathartic and celebratory," while German Rolling Stone described it as "a polyphonic, pompously-filigree orchestrated masterpiece full of surprising tonal colours and layers of meaning" and a strong contender for year-end lists. The album is being supported by the North American "All the Feelings" co-headlining tour with fellow Toronto indie luminaries Metric and Stars.
