Broken Social Scene have started streaming their first album in seven years, Hug of Thunder on NPR. Listen to it here. The record comes after 2010’s Forgiveness Rock Record and is set to be officially out Friday via City Slang/Arts & Crafts. Leading up to the LP, the band shared songs including “Skyline,” “Halfway Home,” and the title track and they performed a number of new tracks on KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic.”
