Remember us??? Sorry for being out of your inboxes for so long, but you might have heard that we were keeping busy working on a new album. Yes, it's true! It was not a myth, there is indeed a new record. It really is finished. It is called Together, and it is coming out on May 4th 2010 through Matador and Last Gang (Canada). It's comprised of twelve tracks, lovingly crafted all over North America over the course of 8 months. Our good friend Phil Palazzolo who produced Challengers, co produced this one with us again. In addition to having all EIGHT members of the band working hard on the record, we were fortunate to have some extremely talented guests drop in and lend a helping hand including Will Sheff from Okkervil River, Annie Clark aka St. Vincent, Zach Condon from Beirut, The Dap King Horns, amongst many others. The artwork is from the works of the extremely talented and world renowned artists, Walter Martin & Paloma Muqoz. Neko also did some hand drawn logo work as well for the cover as well. The good news keeps on coming. First of all, apologies about our website. With everything going on and not much to speak about publicly it went a wee bit out of date. We hope to make it up to you by presenting our brand new site: http://thenewpornographers.com/ From now on the site will be bursting with new content and new features so keep on coming back If you go to the newly revamped Photos section you can check out the album artwork, and about 100 PHOTOS taken throughout the recording process so you can see what a glamorous world the New Pornographers live and work in (We told you that we are just like you!) + You can continue to upload your own pictures up to the photos page so please continue to do so! We'll try to match you! There of course might be some kinks with the website but please be patient we're continuing to work hard on it! THE LINKS What sort of modern group would we be if we weren't all socially networked? So network with us! http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-New-Pornographers/17247427379 http://www.myspace.com/thenewpornographers Carl and Kathryn are also on Twitter! http://twitter.com/ACNewman http://twitter.com/kathryncalder OK! That's it for now. We'll be getting some music out there, and touring news in the future so keep in touch. xo TNP ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 23:10:44 -0500 From: FSThomas Subject: Re: Number stations Jeremy Osner wrote: > Not exactly up my alley musically but I think some of you may be interested: > http://lab.pubspaces.com/2010/01/ps015-va-number-stations/ > I'm not through the whole thing yet, but I'm shocked (shocked, I say) that no one soloed out the Lincolnshire Poacher for it's own track.

At the end of the piece (which was about the Nick Drake tribute show at Celtic Connections in Glasgow) they mention that the 22nd Jan tribute show at the Barbican was to be recorded for broadcast on BBC4 soon.

Someone probably did, then got a nice visit from a nice man with a Home Counties accent who showed them some nice pictures and made them feel that not releasing the track was a nice idea. Now doing something with UVB-76 ("The Buzzer") would be an extreme win.
