The New Pornographers album Brill Bruisers is coming in August 2014.

yeah actually, my playlist of bejar new pornographers tunes is functionally my favorite album by these dudes

great!

o man that song is so britpop

...ana I can't get it out of my head..
Such a great tune..

Me too, tbh

After loving Kaputt to pieces I realized I had no use for Bejar's New Porno songs because I hate how the arrangements force him to bark and sneer in that pinched, arch voice. Ugh.

hits too close to home, eh?

*fart*

if Neko Case sings lead on "Champions of Red Wine" my heart will surely melt

she does!

"dancehall domine" is a carl/kathryn joint, not a bejar as previously suspected, but it totally slays.

only a couple of listens in but i am liking this. it's a lot of fun.

leaked or promo?

new promographers

promo! did a quick interview w/ carl and kathryn last week.

it just went up today.

thanks!

the new record is somewhat disappointing.

production too mellow. need more sharpness and energy (wish the whole thing was more like the first song..)

nice interview!

Bjar and Amber Webber (Lightning Dust) sound amazing together on "Born With a Sound." (As usual of late, the Bejar tracks are best.)

Which tracks star Neko?

"Champions of Red Wine" (which is great) and "Marching Orders" (which is forgettable).

this is great, it's cool i can now pretend together never happened

"Born With a Sound" is great! Will have to check out Amber Webber.

Always nice to hear NPs, such great songwriters and singers all of them, it's maybe kind of like how Tarantino describes Rio Bravo as a hang-out movie because you feel like you're friends with the main characters and when you see it you get to hang out with them again, when there's a new NP record you get to hang out with them again

I used to like Newman but now I think he should retire from the band he created.

niels,check out Lightning Dust's Infinite Light. great great record.

Webber is also in Black Mountain, and they're excellent if you like proggy hard rock. Haven't kept up w/ them lately, but their In the Future record is pretty perfect. her voice is very prominent on that one.

aah that makes a lot of sense, was quite into Black Mountain for a while, remember preferring eponymous album but would like to revisit Future. Saw them live in 2008 but remember it as kind of weird and spacey and then I tuned out.

My local library doesn't have Infinite Light but just ordered the Fantasy cd, hope it's good too.

Spidyr sounds like an out take from Kaputt

(untill the bombastic ending that is)

and You Tell Mt Where sounds like a Game Theory song, as Newman said himself.

Spidyr is also a Swan Lake cover.

$8.99 this week only at Best Buy.

Hipster Traveling Wilburys

No that's the Traveling Wilburys

That time Jenny Lewis covered "Handle With Care" with fucking Ben Gibbard, Conor Oberst and M. Ward is likely a better candidate.

traveling wilburys own so

otm

this is pretty good so far

Letterman performance of title track. Looks like Kelly Hogan is becoming a touring New Pornographer thanks to Neko.

That's not Kelly Hogan that's Coco from the Ettes

You're Coco from the Ettes.

Ha was just coming here to say I didn't realize Coco was in the live version of the band.

Love all the crazy backing vox on this album.

I know salivating over the Bejar songs is the cool thing to do but all my fave tracks on here are Newman songs. "Dancehall Domine" "Brill Bruisers" "Wide Eyes" "Backstairs" "Fantasy Fools" are all pretty great.

I hung out with Coco in Nashville one night because she's a friend of a friend. If you ever get the chance, I recommend it. Her default level of enthusiasm for life is 11.

xp Champions of Red Wine is better than the entirety of Neko's last album

My old band opened for the Ettes a long time ago and they all seemed like delightful people.

OG discussion of that album here: New Pornographers and here:new New Pornographers

Kind of weird there wasn't an actual thread for it. Paradigms be shiftin'
