Listen to Broken Social Scene’s New Song “Stay Happy”– New West Coast Tour Dates Added

Jun 26th, 2017 in Music

As mentioned repeatedly on these pages, the considerable Canadian collective Broken Social Scene will next week drop their long-awaited new album Hug of Thunder. The band is out on tour tightly re-knitting their social scene to support their impending album, including a “Best of Festival” outing at the Arroyo Seco Weekend this past Saturday. Continuing to stoke the scene, BSS today released the album-version of formidable new song Stay Happy and announced additional West Coast dates to their fall tour (see dates at bottom), including the Wiltern Theater on 10/28. Get tix HERE.

Without further adieu, compare and contrast below the recorded version and the live version of Stay Happy as performed on KCRW last week. Newcomer Ariel Engle delivers the enlivening vocals on the song. There will be verve. Hug Of Thunder was produced by the acclaimed Joe Chiccarelli (White Stripes, Spoon, The Strokes) with Nyles Spencer, and mixed by Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, Weezer).  You can pre-order Hug of Thunder HERE.
