Broken Social Scene's self-titled LP was part of a massive indie rock groundswell in the mid-2000s.
The album turns 20 this Saturday, so let's look back:
Nia Nadurataβs new track, "break stuff," is the final chapter of her Still Living With My Parents era.
"It's a song steeped in nostalgia and the difference between longing and acceptance, holding on and letting go," says Nia.
