Listen: Broken Social Scene - 'World Sick'
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater February 19th, 2010

Broken Social Scene - that awesome threesome you had in college, apparently. They return with a new LP after five long years. Now they've unveiled the album's name, the artwork and even decided to give away a free mp3 from it.

The record will be called Forgiveness Rock Record, and the song they're letting us all have is 'World Sick'. According to various interviews and reports, the band are now just a core of six members, but, unsurprisingly they rope in their friends and acquaintances for the album, including Feist, members of Metric, Do Make Say Think and Tortoise - whose member John McEntire produced the record.

Album art is below. Some seriously confused design, there. Heaven knows if it's even meant to mean anything. It's released May 3 through City Slang. Stick that in your diaries.

May 13 - London, Brixton Academy
May 14 - Minehead, All Tomorrow's Parties
May 17 - London, England
