So then, from following AC Newman's Twitter feed last night we deduced the following nuggets of information.
- He was watching the USA vs. Canada Ice Hockey Game
- Canada lost
- He was unhappy about this
- He was to post an mp3 of a new song today
Perhaps the first three points are of interest to you, but really, the fourth and final of these is why we're actually here. Can't see the damned puck, anyways. It's new music from The New Pornographers, and also a bit more information about their forthcoming album, their first since 2007's Challengers.
The mp3 - for 'Your Hands (Together)' - is available from the Matablog, that centre for musical excellence Should you not want to read the blurb on there, click here to get the mp3 directly. Their new record, Together, is out on May 3 or thereabouts. The new track gives a taste, but below is the full tracklisting.
- Moves
- The Crash Years
- Your Hands (Together)
- Silver Jenny Dollar
- Sweet Talk, Sweet Talk
- My Shepherd
- If You Can’t See My Mirrors
- Up In The Dark
- Valkyrie In The Roller Disco
- A Bite Out Of My Bed
- Daughters Of Sorrow
- We End Up Together
Featuring on the record, unsurprisingly are AC Newman, Dan Bejar, Kathryn Calder, Neko Case, John Collins, Kurt Dahle, Todd Fancey and Blaine Thurier. Whole thing was produced by Phil Palazzolo and recorded across a variety of locations in North America. They're also playing a one-off London show at Camden's Electric Ballroom on Wednesday May 19, FYI.
