Broken Social Scene Premieres New Music Video for “Skyline”
Canadian indie rock band Broken Social Scene unveiled a new music video for "Skyline" directed by the band frontman Kevin Drew.
The song is included on their fifth album "Hug of Thunder", which was relased in July 2017.
The video follows the friendship between the band's Brendan Canning and skate photographer Dimitri Karakostas, declaring peanut butter and the music of Foreigner as the staples to any solid camaraderie.
The new album is their first LP in seven years since "Forgiveness Rock Record".
The band core member Brendan Canning said about their comeback since "Forgiveness Rock Record";
“I wouldn’t want [Forgiveness Rock Record] to be our final word. That wasn’t the easiest album to make. It was good to come back with the way we have come back, with a much more united crew. …. We’ve had some regular life shit sort of swept into your trajectory and aura, and it just changes focus for you.
I think eventually you have to go out and experience certain things that don’t include your bandmates — the people you spend an unhealthy amount of time with. You’re spending your own time together a lot of time. It’s nice to refocus the lens and get a much-needed perspective as to why you still want to do it.
We just get around, start making some noise. Just some people in a room, playing music. We just kind of let the music take over and do what it does. Every story is different with this band. One song can have a very different beginning with another song."- Broken Social Scene was formed by Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning in 1999. The band consists of between as few as six and as many as nineteen members.
Since then, the band has released five albums such as "Feel Good Lost" (2001), "You Forgot It in People" (2002), "Broken Social Scene" (2005), "Forgiveness Rock Record" (2010) and "Hug of Thunder" (2017).
"Broken Social Scene" became Gold disc and "Forgiveness Rock Record" reached number one on Canadian Album Chart.
Most of its members play in various other groups and solo projects, mainly in the city of Toronto. -
