The New Pornographers

Mid-tempo synth-pop and intricate vocal harmonies exploring the fatigue of the digital age. A more patient, saxophone-laced evolution of their signature power pop.

A sophisticated and slightly weary reflection on modern isolation, wrapped in shimmering, mid-tempo pop.

Moments Worth Listening For
The unexpected entry of Zach Djanikian's saxophone on the title track, adding a soulful, slightly noir texture to the band's usual brightness.
The way the vocal harmonies on 'Really Really Light' create a shimmering wall of sound that feels both weightless and emotionally heavy.
The five-minute slow-burn build of 'Wish Automatic Suite' which closes the album with a sense of grand, unresolved mystery.
