Broken Social Scene
Bee Hives
Album · Alternative · 2004
You Forgot It in People was a breakout album for Toronto’s Broken Social Scene, effortlessly mixing rainbow-hued ambience with hard-hitting college rock. Bee Hives, a collection of B-sides from that album, leans toward the former, illustrating the group at their dreamiest and most formless. The acoustic, strolling “Market Fresh” fades in and out of a rosy cloud of synth tones, while a new take on “Lover’s Spit” reinterprets the anthemic track as a jazzy, nocturnal ballad.
