Earlier this month, Toronto’s Broken Social Scene made their long-awaited return with their new album Hug of Thunder. Today, the group have shared a video for the record’s “Vanity Pail Kids.” Written and directed by their own Kevin Drew, the video features toilets, urinals and trash-bag heads to provide a satirical take on the ultimately shitty state of our world.
BSS are set to take North America by storm this fall and have added a second show at Seattle’s Neptune Theatre on October 22nd. Read our review of Hug of Thunder (available now through Arts & Crafts) here and watch the visual for “Vanity Pail Kids” above.
