Indie darlings Broken Social Scene unveiled a new song, All I Want, from their forthcoming EPLets Try the After Vol. 1, set to arrive February 15th via Arts and Crafts. The track opens with an synth pulsing over the tinny crack of old-school electronic drums. Andrew Whiteman sings lead on the track, his soft croon lending poignancy and depth to the songs simple, yet mesmerizing, hook, All I, all I, all I want/ All I want is you.
Lets Try the After Vol. 1 is available to pre-order and follows Broken Social Scenes 2017 album, Hug of Thunder. In a statement, bandleader Kevin Drew said of the project, The point is to keep going. We have more to give. These songs have lived beside us and become our commencement party while continuing together. We hope you enjoy this EP for you and me.
