Aug 19, 2014 The New Pornographers By Mike Hilleary

Next week on Aug. 25 Canadian supergroup The New Pornographers will release their newest album Brill Bruisers. Backed by the whole gang, Neko Case, Dan Bejar, Blaine Thurier, John Collins, Kathryn Calder, Kurt Dahle, and Todd Fancey, frontman A.C. Newman says the new LP “is stylistically as close as we can get to what I think I’ve always imagined us being. I feel like what we did on this has always been in the back of my mind, even from the first record, but we just never did it, like using all the arpeggiators and adding that spacy synth element. It just never seemed right before, and with this record, it completely did. I feel more confident about this record than I’ve ever felt about anything before.”

Ahead of its impending arrival, the entire album is currently available to stream on iTunes Radio. Scroll down below to view the band’s updated tour itinerary.
