New Pornographers New Track & Album Release Date

  • Published in News

Matador Records release The New Pornographers’ highly anticipated new album this summer - Brill Bruisers will be out on August 25th.

Listen to the album's title track at the foot of this article.

Brill Bruisers is the band's first new release in four years. The New Yorker describes the band’s music as “Magnificent and clever” while Stereogum proclaims “In recent history, no group has featured so much formidable established talent, collaborating on a regular basis.” 

Of the album, lead-singer and main songwriter AC Newman comments, “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. I’m grateful.”  

Produced by band-member John Collin (bass) with Newman, the 12-track album was recorded primarily at Little Blue in Woodstock, NY and at JC/DC Studios in Vancouver B.C. with additional recording in Austin, Brooklyn and Vermont.  A limited edition multi-coloured paint splattered version of the LP is available through the Matador and The New Pornographers web-stores. You can pre-order this limited edition vinyl from the band or label and receive a 3D poster and 3D glasses (while supplies last).

Since their debut in 1999, The New Pornographers have released five studio albums including their most recent, Together (2010), of which, NPR Music praised,“Unimpeachable pop gems…these are the songs of summer”.

The New Pornographers are A.C. Newman, Blaine Thurier, Dan Bejar, John Collins, Kathryn Calder, Kurt Dahle, Neko Case and Todd Fancey. The album cover design was created by Steven Wilson and Thomas Burden, the interactive artwork page was designed by Chris Shier.
