At long last, the stupendous New Pornographers<\/strong><\/a> have announced they will release their new album The Brill Bruisers<\/strong><\/em> on August 26th on Matador Records<\/strong>.\u00a0 The album was recorded by\/with the fantastic lineup of A.C. Newman, Neko Case, Dan Bejar (Destroyer), Blaine Thurier, John Collins, Kathryn Calder, Kurt Dahle,<\/strong> and Todd Fancey<\/strong>.\u00a0 Listen to the album’s ebullient, rocking title track and\/or click on the prompt to go over to the band’s site and “paint” the song in full palette.\u00a0 Following on the heels of Newman’s<\/strong> last contemplative and heavy solo album, Shut Down The Streets<\/strong><\/em>, Newman<\/strong> says about The Brill Bruisers<\/strong><\/em>: “This is a celebration record. After periods of difficulty, I am at a place where nothing in my life is dragging me down and the music reflects that.”<\/p>\n

It’s early in the week, but we’re calling it now after listening to the song on repeat for ours:\u00a0 its the Song of the Week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The new album’s tracklist is below (Champions of Red Wine<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>has to be great!) and the band’s tour dates (Cali<\/strong>: they come to Cali mid-October, including The Wiltern<\/strong>) follow the video (tickets HERE<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n
