Our power pop neighbors from Vancouver, The New Pornographers, have a new album coming out, and in anticipation of that, I decided to up the two tracks that have been leaked from it. The first is called "Your Hands (Together)" is pretty fantastic, and reminds me of exactly why I feel in love with the New Pornographers back during their
Mass Romantic time period. Epic, jangly, enthusiastic and heartfelt, it reminds me of my most favorite New Pornographers song "From Blown Speakers."
The other song is called "Crash Years," and reminds me of exactly why I got bored with The New Pornograpers. I mean, its not necessarily terrible, but it seems undercooked and bland. Its somewhat catchy, but it goes basically nowhere and I have a hard time focusing on it. Perhaps a few more listens will yield a better attitude towards it.
Anyways, Together is out on May 4th. Lets see what you can do, New Pornographers!
