Broken Social Scene have unveiled a video for “Golden Facelift,” their first new track in over four years. The visual for “Golden Facelift” is a fan-made endeavor, with various relevant newsclips compiled to create a collage to go along with the music. The Canadian collective are definitely making a statement with their latest video, choosing to run with footage depicting social unrest, some of the biggest, most controversial stories of 2014, and other headline-grabbing clips. Broken Social Scene also released a statement to go along with the video for “Golden Facelift,” which you can read below.

“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.
