Today, Charlotte Cornfield releases “Living With It”, the second single/video from her new album, Hurts Like Hell, out March 27, 2026 via Next Door Records (Canada) and Merge Records (World Wide). Much of Hurts Like Hell’s magic happens in the space Cornfield makes for harmony. Following the title track, on which Cornfield was accompanied by Buck Meek, on “Living With It", she's joined by the one and only Feist, who she connected with through a group chat for mothers who are touring musicians.

 “I had secretly dreamed of having her sing on the record and mentioned it to [producer] Phil Weinrobe, who she is also friends with,” Cornfield reflects. “When Phil reached out and she said yes, I sent her a couple of songs, hoping she would gravitate towards this one. She did, and she added her Feist magic to it, which is undeniable.” That magic meets Cornfield at her most vulnerable, just as she finds herself diving into the wreck of emotions beneath the surface of a painful memory, troubling its narrative and transfiguring the pain in Cornfield’s voice into something more complex and true, something that must have hurt like hell to have lived through, let alone to retell. Detailing the end of a relationship, Cornfield sings: ‘Maybe I’m just better at living with it than you are // But I’m the one crying in my car // Telling you to go when I want you to stay.’

The accompanying video was made by Ali Vanderkruyk and Sara Melvin, and stars Celia Green, Augusto Bitter, Feist and Cornfield.

MORE ABOUT HURTS LIKE HELL
Cornfield’s sixth album, Hurts Like Hell is the first she’s recorded since the birth of her daughter in 2023, an inflection point for her as a person and an artist. The album’s recurrent themes of personal growth and renewal, of love’s perseverance through difficulty and shame and awkwardness, are rooted there. 

Cornfield’s change in perspective is evident not only in her approach to the lyric—which now gives voice to characters and themes beyond her own headspace—but in how she approached recording. Hurts Like Hell is her most collaborative effort to date. Decamping to Philip Weinrobe’s (Adrianne Lenker, Lonnie Holley, Billie Marten) Sugar Mountain studio in January 2025, Cornfield was joined by a full backing band, including Palehound’s El Kempner (guitar/vocals), Lake Street Dive’s Bridget Kearney (bass/vocals), Adam Brisbin (guitar/pedal steel), and Sean Mullins (drums), with key contributions by Núria Graham (piano), and Daniel Pencer (saxophone). Cornfield and Weinrobe then recruited Feist, Buck Meek, Christian Lee Hutson and Maia Friedman to sing on the album. “Every musician involved was a dream collaborator,” Cornfield says.

Cornfield arrived at Hurts Like Hell bearing both scars from her past and hope for the future. Standing outside of herself and taking stock of what she wanted her music to be in the wake of childbirth, she was brave enough to ask for space, for time, and for help from places and people familiar and unexpected—a group chat, songwriters she was fans of but wasn’t acquainted with, friends whose long-forgotten song leant her the chorus for a new one. Every “yes,” every voice memo, every shared file, every open door leading to this moment in her career. Call that moment what you will—an expansion, a rebirth, a breakthrough—Hurts Like Hell is big enough to meet it.

Broken Social Scene have announced the May 8, 2026 release of their new album Remember The Humans via Arts & Crafts. Marking their first new studio album in nearly a decade, the LP reunites the Toronto collective with producer David Newfeld, who helmed their breakthrough You Forgot It in People (2002) and self-titled 2005 album. Across the 12 tracks the arrangements are dense and enveloping - a lattice of horns, guitars, voices, and electronics - yet melody always remains sovereign, refusing to be swallowed by the sheer sound. When the music drifts towards abstraction, a grounding bass line arrives to anchor the listener, reminding us always that there are human hands on the controls and that, however artful, this is still rock and roll.

This sensibility crystallizes in Remember The Humans’ opening track and lead single “Not Around Anymore,” where Broken Social Scene’s co-founder Kevin Drew incants about the disappearance of possibility in a world where "it's all gone away." But the nostalgia hinted at by the lyrics is gently resisted by the music: by invoking a past that has vanished, the song unexpectedly floods the present with a glow that rivals the very greatness being lamented. 

The video for the song was directed by Jordan D Allen, Rachel McLean and Kevin Drew.

In addition to the new music, Broken Social Scene, Metric & Stars have announced the All The Feelings North American Tour, promoted by Live Nation. A celebration of lifelong friendship and creative communion amongst the Toronto legends, the tour kicks off in Austin at the Moody Theatre on June 8th and ends with a glorious homecoming at RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto on August 7th. Highlights include The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on June 16th, The Brooklyn Paramount in Brooklyn on July 30th and The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on August 4th. All dates are listed below. Tickets are on-sale Friday, February 6 at 10am local and will be available here. 

MORE ABOUT REMEMBER THE HUMANS
Remember the Humans was shaped by reunion and loss in equal measure. When Drew and Newfeld reconnected after nearly 20 years apart, one hangout became what they call "a hurricane of fun." During the recording, both lost their mothers - a shared grief that drew them closer. As Newfeld recalls, "our moms would have wanted us to do this, and get it right after 20 years of not working together."

As ever, Broken Social Scene operates less as a band than as a community and songs evolve by ceding control to whoever can best carry them forward in the moment. Drew may be the designated driver, but collaborators on Remember the Humans, including Hannah Georgas, Lisa Lobsinger, and Feist, step into the foreground throughout the record, shaping songs with a sense of collective authorship that has always defined the group’s ethos.

The songs work because no one fully commands them. But this is where Newfeld matters most. As BSS’s Charles Spearin puts it, "his production suits the chaos of our songwriting so well...he's got a childlike energy that is really contagious, when you get a piece of music that he loves, Oh my God, he's bouncing like a little boy."

The same unruly energy that keeps a band young can also trap it in its own past. Yet on Remember the Humans, Broken Social Scene have evolved with a deep sense of intention. It is the sound of a band deepening rather than reinventing, exploring the emotional implications of forms they’ve spent twenty years shaping. "There's a different kind of honesty in this record," says Spearin, "we've had success, we've lost friends, we've lost parents, we're at this 'what happens next?' stage in life." Remember the Humans is adult music in the best sense: contradictory, wounded, expansive - hopeful in a way that feels earned rather than declared. And it is also, in its refusal of control and its embrace of the ungovernable, a testament to something increasingly rare: art that is not optimized, not streamlined, not strategic.

BSS’s own evolution mirrors something happening outside it. After years of oversaturation and noise, the culture itself seems to have looped back to a craving for the raw, the communal, and the unguarded. The conditions that made You Forgot It in People feel necessary in 2002 have, in altered form, returned in 2026. According to Drew, "in 2026, you're going to see a lot of resurgence of people going back to the roots of who they are, because things in their lifetime have gotten quite lost. I think we've let each other down, and I think it's art that always tries to prevail, and tries to get us back on track."

In a culture defined by abstraction and distance, Broken Social Scene have made a record that insists on the analog fact of human presence. It asks, gently, but insistently, that we remember each other, that we remember the human.

PURITY RING EMBARK ON SPRING TOUR DATES

2026 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES BEGIN APRIL 17 - TICKETS HERE

Trailblazing electronic pop duo Purity Ring are heading out on tour this Spring supporting their recent self-titled album with stops in Toronto on May 11 at The Opera House and Vancouver on May 25 at The Hollywood Theatre. Full dates can be found below with tickets on sale here.

Purity Ring’s self-titled fourth album marks the beginning of a bold new chapter as the band’s most immersive release to date. Long known for their fusion of body horror imagery and ethereal electronics, the duo now shift their focus from the physical to the fantastical, crafting a concept album that serves as the soundtrack to an imagined RPG. Inspired by games like Nier Automata and Final Fantasy X, the record tells the story of two hapless characters — embodiments of mj and Corin — on a journey to build a kinder world amid the ruins of a broken one. But this is no escapist fantasy: it is the first step of forbidden dreaming, of imagining a place where the vulnerable are heeded, where grief is spoken aloud and held collectively, where family is a verb rather than a noun, where hope and home can bloom together.

purity ring is the most expansive the duo has ever sounded. Corin reaches into his deepest musical memories to sculpt euphoric, otherworldly soundscapes of vintage digital synths, classical guitar, pan flutes, breakbeats, and haunted vocoders. Along with her unmistakable presence, mj has unlocked a new arsenal of vocal deliveries and a joyous, dizzying stream of consciousness in her words. When a loved one became newly disabled, mj became a full-time caregiver, an experience that continues to expose the world's inadequacies and fuels her vision of a better one.  

As always, the band’s visuals feel deeply seeded in the sound of the record. For this release, they’ve collaborated with fellow Canadian Mike Sunday to develop an imaginary place — one shaped by many of the same inspirations that influenced Corin’s production along with the narrative of mj’s poetry. Together with Sunday, they’ve crafted a sensory landscape that visually brings the album’s story to life. Purity Ring's new live show is also built on this surreal landscape, immersing fans in this world alongside them.

Purity Ring released their first three albums on the legendary label 4AD, beginning with Shrines, which earned Pitchfork’s Best New Music honors and was shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize. Their breakout track “Fineshrine” is certified gold in the US, and “Grandloves” was sampled by Playboi Carti on his Die Lit track “Fell In Love.” In recent years, they remixed “Knife Prty” as the lead single for the 20th anniversary reissue of Deftones’ classic album White Pony and collaborated with industrial pop duo Black Dresses on the track “Shines.” 

Since emerging in the early 2010s, Corin and mj have made a lasting impact on the electronic pop landscape, building a world all their own with immersive self-produced albums and designing groundbreaking visual live show experiences. Their next era of self-released music promises to step fully into a vision they’ve been circling for years - one that feels vast, unrestrained, and true to who they’ve become.
