Live Session

The New Pornographers

Four tracks of high-octane power pop captured live. Rawer and more immediate than their studio counterparts, emphasizing vocal interplay and jagged guitar hooks.

It's the band's biggest hits but with the studio polish stripped away and the energy cranked up.

A high-energy, celebratory burst of melodic rock that feels immediate and unpretentious.
