The New Pornographers Releasing “Brill Bruisers” in August
The New Pornographers have revealed that August 26 will be the release date of their new album, Brill Bruisers, the band’s first 
offering since 2010’s very memorable full-length, Challengers.
The album, which was recorded in Woodstock (NY), Brooklyn, Vermont, Austin, and Vancouver, was co-produced by band members A.C. Newman and John Collins, the former of which describes this project as “a celebration record.”
Adds Newman: “After periods of difficulty, I am at a place where nothing in my life is dragging me down and the music reflects that. I’m grateful.”
Brill Bruisers can be pre-ordered today in a limited edition “paint splattered” vinyl version that comes with a 3D poster and 3D glasses.
