Broken Social Scene Share "Golden Facelift" Video

Earlier this month, Canadian label Arts & Crafts released Broadsheet Music: A Year in Review, a musical collaboration with The Globe and Mail featuring label artists as well as contributions from the Canadian Opera Company. Included in the set was “Golden Facelift”, a Broken Social Scene song recorded during the Forgiveness Rock Record sessions that didn’t make the final album. Today, the band shared the fan-made clip for the song, which serves as a visual recap of 2014.  In a press release, they also talked about the video:

“Golden Facelift” is a song recorded during the Forgiveness Rock Record sessions, but ultimately did not make the final cut for one reason or another. It is a song we as a band all felt strongly about lyrically and musically and we wanted to give it a proper unveiling when the time was right. We feel that chance is now as this year draws to a close. 2014 has not been without its beauty, but it has also been a year of incredible brutality and all of humanity has a great deal to answer for. Broken Social Scene aims to echo the voice and concerns of the underdog while creating music that will hopefully inspire those who are doing good and useful things for this planet and humankind.

“Golden Facelift” represents the first new music from the band since Forgiveness Rock Record. Watch the video below.
