The New Pornographers will release a new album this spring.
'Whiteout Conditions', the follow up to 2014's 'Brill Bruisers', is due to arrive on April 7. Discussing it, founder and frontman A.C. Newman said:
"At the beginning of this record, there was some thinking that we wanted it to be like a Krautrock Fifth Dimension. Of course, our mutated idea of what Krautrock is probably doesn’t sound like Krautrock at all. But we were thinking: Let’s try and rock in a different way.”
