Incoming: The New Pornographers

Canadian indie pop group the New Pornographers is a star-studded supergroup that has churned out hook-heavy melodies since the band’s smash debut, Mass Romantic. (The three most famous members are Carl Newman, for Zumpano and his solo work as A.C. Newman, Dan Bejar for his projects Destroyer and Swan Lake, and Neko Case, for being both a folk-rock hero and really, really pretty.) The band’s fifth album, Together, will be released on May 4, and it will include collaborations from St. Vincent, Beirut’s Zach Codon, and Will Sheff of Okkervil River. Lawrencians will get to preview new release at the group’s July 26 appearance at Liberty Hall, where the New Pornographers will appear with folk-rockers the Dodos and rising star Imaad Wasif.
