Broken Parachute is a posthumous release by Northstar. The album is a collection of rare B-sides and alternate recordings.
The album was originally an EP entitled The Broken Parachute EP. It was slated for a summer 2006 release and contained 2 acoustic versions of previous songs, an alternate version, a cover song, and an unreleased track. The date was constantly pushed back for "legal rights issues." Finally, in March 2007, Speak Music Media issued a statement on their Myspace that the EP had been expanded into a full-length album after band frontman Nick Torres discovered a three-song demo predating Is This Thing Loaded?. The release also contains an alternate version of another song, bringing the track count to nine songs.

“The broken ridge of the hills
was the line of a lover’s shoulder,

the sudden leap and swift thunder
of mountain boulders, his laugh.”
