Broken Social Scene

In October 2017, Broken Social Scene was at a notable juncture in their career, having just released their fifth studio album, *Hug of Thunder*, in July of that same year. This album marked their first release in seven years, following a significant hiatus after *Forgiveness Rock Record* in 2010. The live performance of "Stay Happy" at KEXP showcases the band's return to the music scene and highlights their signature blend of indie rock and enriched instrumentation, which has garnered a dedicated fan base. The session at KEXP was a testament to their enduring appeal and ability to capture the eclectic sound that defines their music. Additionally, the live context emphasized their collaborative nature, a hallmark of Broken Social Scene, as they often feature a rotating cast of musicians in their projects.
