Canadian supergroup, The New Pornographers, will be releasing their ninth album, Continue As A Guest, on March 31st.

A.C. Newman (one of the co-founders of the band) recently spoke to NME about the new album and discussed the challenges of finding a “balance where it sounds like you but you’re not repeating yourself.” One of the ways they broke from the past was Newman taking over as producer and engineer - and placing a deeper emphasis on the vocals.

The New Pornographers reflect on a sense of alienation and the feeling of being outside of the mainstream on Continue As A Guest, your Album of the Week at the Current.
