Ah man, the New Pornographers are coming out with a new album and I couldn't be more ecstatic. I'm a big lover of music. What this band does with layers, melodies, variations and strange, vague lyrics is my cup of tea. They create feelings and emotions, leaving it up to the listener to fill in the blanks, to attach meaning to those feelings. And that's music, right? So yes, May will be a great month. This will be an appropriate way to kick it off.
For now, there's finally a new song available for our ears. It is called "Your Hands (Together)". The press release names War Pigs by Black Sabbath, Waterloo by ABBA, and Christine by Siouxsie and the Banshees as the song's influences. Apparently when you put that in a blender you come up with a bad ass New P's song. Go figure.
Below is "Your Hands (Together)" as well as the songs that inspired it.
Abba - Waterloo
Black Sabbath - War Pigs
Siouxse and the Banshees - Christine
Thats a good one there dadday
