New Pornographers Reveal Album Details

Susan Hopkins reports:
If you call him Carl, he may not answer you...not that we've tried. But just because A.C. Newman, who recently made pop hearts swoon with his solo effort The Slow Wonder, has a new and acronymic name, it doesn't mean he's not still doing what he does best. Yes, Mr. Newman is, of course, a member of one of Canada's finest exports (after Nickleback, of course), the New Pornographers, who are reportedly just finishing up work on their third full-length, Twin Cinema. Sources at Mint, the band's Canadian label, tell us Twin Cinema will be finished and ready for your grubby little hands on August 23-- we presume that date will be the same for the Matador release in the U.S., but that's currently unconfirmed. They also hit us up with a tracklist, and you know we love that:

01 Twin Cinema
02 The Bones of an Idol
03 Use It
04 The Bleeding Heart Show
05 Jackie, Dressed in Cobras
06 The Jessica Numbers
07 These Are the Fables
08 Sing Me Spanish Techno
09 Falling Through Your Clothes
10 Broken Breads
11 Three or Four
12 Star Bodies
13 Streets of Fire
14 Stacked Crooked

4/27/2005 10:20:37 PM

looking forward to seeing AC Newman this summer, but the new pornographers is what my heart truly desires

4/27/2005 10:23:54 PM

4/27/2005 10:25:23 PM

4/27/2005 10:29:08 PM

I'll be happy if it's anywhere near as good as the last two.

4/27/2005 10:40:33 PM

Oh my shit, another fifth song called Jackie.

4/27/2005 10:47:40 PM

The first track, "Twin Cinema," is available on the Matador website now:

Good thing that isn't indicative of the quality of music, since it's pretty horrible if you ask me.

I like it, hey Mikey!

8/24/2005 1:23:46 AM

I'm really disappointed in it. I mean, it's not bad, I guess, but you kind of have to BRING IT after Mass Romantic and Electric Version.

8/27/2005 6:29:54 PM

^ My thoughts exactly. No song really shoves the hook down my throat and says WHAT NOW, BITCH? ELECTRIC WHO!?

8/27/2005 6:35:23 PM

its definately better than electric version, but all 3 are good

[Edited on August 27, 2005 at 10:36 PM. Reason : .]

8/27/2005 10:34:12 PM

i doubt they'll ever top Mass Romantic. the songs on that album just go straight to your veins.

i just bought a ticket to the show. i'll be damned if i'll get fucked out of this one by middle school OC fans like I did with Sufjan's.

8/28/2005 1:02:55 AM

^^^ SOOOOOOO good, I fell over the first time I heard that.

8/28/2005 1:40:55 AM

just beautiful

8/28/2005 1:30:27 PM
