This week's featured music video, from the 2010 album Forgiveness Rock Record by Canadian indie-rock supergroup Broken Social Scene, gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “Well, that escalated quickly...” It begins on a gentle, bittersweet romantic note, and ends with a big, messy pile of hacked-up body parts. Ain't love like that?
Established in 1999, Broken Social Scene is well-known for their big, symphonic sound and constantly revolving lineup (which ranges from six to twenty members, depending on the project and/or tour they're working on). Despite their popular and critical success, they disbanded after the release of Forgiveness... but they recently announced that they would reunite this year to headline the Field Trip Arts & Crafts Music Festival on Saturday, June 8th, marking the tenth anniversary of their album Arts & Crafts.
