The New Pornographers will launch new album The Former Web site Of on March 27, through Merge. Watch the video for the one “Votive,” animated by Michael Arthur, beneath.
The band that performs on the follow-up to Continue as a Guest contains A.C. Newman, Kathryn Calder, Neko Case, John Collins, and Todd Fancey. Charley Drayton joins on drums, changing the disgraced former drummer Joe Seiders. Josh Wells might be behind the equipment on the band’s April-bound tour.
Newman says in a press launch, “Having time in my studio actually opened issues up. I don’t like losing my bandmates’ time, and at all times felt responsible after I’d give them a music, ask them to do one thing, then utterly change the music and ask them to do it once more. Now I can get the skeleton of a music collectively first—simply a few parts, the important thing feeling, actually as little as doable—earlier than bringing it to the band and working from there.”
