Broken Social Scene brought a sense of inclusion to Canada's musical landscape in the ‘00s, using an array of singers and musicians to create a lush, dense sound. Their eclectic influences melted together to make appealing combinations, like buzzing synths and explosions of guitar noise (“Cause = Time”) or razor-sharp rhythms with the loosely structured atmospheres of “7/4 (Shoreline)”. Surging through it all is raw, gut-wrenching sincerity that turns something like the orchestral piano ballad “Lover's Spit” into an anthem for fumbling around for an intimate, late-night connection.
