Calm down, people. Broken Social Scene are NOT breaking up. A little while ago, it was reported by various publications that the Canadian collective will go on hiatus after a fall American tour, the dates for which were announced today and can be seen after the jump.

According to the band's publicist, the hiatus will be exactly that-- a well-deserved break. No "indefinite" Sleater-Kinney steez here, just a bit of time off after an intense year or so of touring. Which makes total sense.
