The New Pornographers’ highly anticipated new album, Brill Bruisers, will be released August 26 on Matador Records.
Brill Bruisers is the first new release in four years from the acclaimed supergroup, feauring AC Newman and Neko Case.
Of the album, lead-singer and main songwriter 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.” Produced by band-members John Collins (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. Newman adds, “We wanted Xanadu and we wanted Sigue Sigue Sputnik, which translated into sparklier and faster.”
