We are so happy to announce plans for Together: the fifth full-length album from The New Pornographers, set to release May 4th in Canada on Last Gang.  The album was co-produced by the band and Phil Palazzolo.  It was recorded mostly in Vancouver, with additional sessions in Brooklyn, Woodstock and Catskill, New York.  A.C. Newman composed nine of the songs, and Dan Bejar three.  Carl and Dan are joined by the full crew - John Collins, Neko Case, Kurt Dahle, Kathryn Calder, Todd Fancey and Blaine Thurier.  Also lending support are Annie Clark (St.. Vincent), Zach Condon (Beirut), Will Sheff (Okkervil River) and the Dap-Kings Horns, among other talents.

More varied, deeper and broader than its predecessors, Together marks the next step in the journey for a truly incredible band.  We are proud to play a part in helping to share this with the world!  Check out the relaunched New Porno’s website for photos documenting the recording sessions – cats, dogs, barbecue lunches, cottage studios and the Hollywood Bowl – check it out!
