New Pornographers – Challengers
Well I’ve just not bothered posting this one, and I’m not sure why. Partly, I suppose, I don’t lurrve The New Pornographers. I mean, Neko Case induces a certain, ah, Gentleman’s Inconvenience, if you know what I mean and the music is definitely pretty good, and occasionally brilliant. But by and large I like them rather than love them. Except for Neko – eminently strumpable little ginger pop pixie that she is.
So here’s the teaser song from their new album, due out in the middle of August some time. As per usual from this lot it’s a pleasantly jaunty little bit of indie power pop. But does it make my little heart skip a beat in breathless anticipation of Challengers? No, not really, although I’ll probably end up buying it anyway.
For those keener than I, you can stream the whole thing immediately right now as of this very minute by pre-ordering from Matador Records. Click here and follow the on-screen instructions – you want the second one down, the Buy Early Get Now version.
