As mentioned repeatedly<\/a> on these pages, the considerable Canadian collective Broken Social Scene<\/strong><\/a> will next week drop their long-awaited new album Hug of Thunder<\/strong><\/em>. The band is out on tour tightly re-knitting their social scene to support their impending album, including a “Best of Festival<\/strong>” outing at the Arroyo Seco Weekend<\/strong>\u00a0this past Saturday. Continuing to stoke the scene, BSS<\/strong> today released the album-version of formidable new song Stay Happy<\/strong><\/em> and announced additional West Coast dates to their fall tour (see dates at bottom), including the Wiltern Theater<\/strong> on 10\/28. Get tix HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Without further adieu, compare and contrast below the recorded version and the live version of Stay Happy<\/strong><\/em> as performed on KCRW<\/strong> last week. Newcomer Ariel Engle<\/strong> delivers the enlivening vocals on the song. There will be verve. Hug Of Thunder<\/strong><\/em> was produced by the acclaimed\u00a0Joe Chiccarelli (White Stripes, Spoon, The Strokes)<\/strong> with Nyles Spencer<\/strong>, and mixed by Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, Weezer)<\/strong>. \u00a0You can pre-order Hug of Thunder<\/strong><\/em> HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
