The Return Of The New Pornographers
The New Pornographers, our favorite Canadian-American supergroup, returns. The band who brought the vocal harmonies of power-pop back in trend will release their fifth album ‘Together’ with its usual ensemble of singers and songwriters in full (Neko Case; A.C. Newman; Dan Bejar; Kathryn Calder; etc..).
‘Together’ is scheduled for release via Matador/4AD on May The 4th and will see the Pornographers collaborating with recent indie luminaries such as St. Vincent; Beirut’s Zach Condon and Okkervil River’s Will Sheff.
‘Your Hands (Together)’, described by the band as “a magical trifecta of Black Sabbath’s War Pigs with Abba’s Waterloo and Siouxsie and the Banshees’ Christine” is a promising taste of things to come and can be listened here.
