New Tune From New Pornographers

What a week for sneak listens! (And I'll have another one tomorrow). A few weeks ago Matador's Matablog promised the first mp3 from the New Pornographers would be coming soon. Well, here it is, and it's a juggernaut. You'll want to turn this one way up. As usual, the vocals are stunning, and the guitar is harder than just about anything the band has attempted. 'Together' will be released on May 4. As I mentioned last month, A.C. Newman wrote nine of the songs, and Dan Bejar penned the other three. Don't worry. Neko Case is supposed to be all over it, too. Lend your ears to this one... and let me know what you think.
