Artist:The New Pornographers
Song:Brill Bruisers
Album:Brill Bruisers
The New Pornographers are a successful indie band from Vancouver. All the various members are involved in other projects so they like to come across as a loose collective. The leader of The New Pornographers is Carl Newman. He writes most of the songs and is the main lead singer. He was in the bands Superconductor and Zumpano. He also records solo as A.C. Newman. The other members at the beginning were guitarist Dan Bejar and bassist John Collins from Destroyer, singer Neko Case and drummer Blaine Thurier. The uncertainty started when Neko left Vancouver and started her solo career. So when she has been unavailable, Newman's niece Kathryn Calder filled in for her. Another example is Dan Bejar was unavailable for the 2017 album Whiteout Conditions as he was recording a Destroyers album. But he's still in the band. Brill Bruisers was the first single for the 2014 album Brill Bruisers. It was The New Pornographers final album for Matador Records. They now record on their own label distributed by Concord. Their latest album In the Morse Code of Brake Lights was released in 2019. The New Pornographers are probably due for a new album but they are currently on tour. Check them out if they are coming your way. Here's The New Pornographers performing Brill Bruisers on Late Night with David Letterman Sept. 4, 2014.
