The New Pornographers' 'Whiteout Conditions' Out Today
By: Caryn Robbins Apr. 07, 2017
Whiteout Conditions, the highly anticipated new album from acclaimed supergroup The New Pornographers, is out today. The first release on the band's own Collected Works Records imprint in partnership with Concord Records, Whiteout Conditions is the subject of early critical praise.
Since their debut in 2000, The New Pornographers have released six studio albums including their most recent, Brill Bruisers, hailed as an "exuberant, synthpop-infused set" by Rolling Stone, "infectious" by Harper's Bazaar and "the grand and purposeful hookfest that you would hope these guys would come back with" by Stereogum. Pitchfork went on to note that "with the futurist sound of Brill Bruisers, the whole band embraces a more electric version of itself-bulked-up in chrome-plated armor, firing on all cylinders, and ready to steamroll anything in its path." The band celebrated the release with a special NPR Music "First Listen Live" concert at the legendary Brill Building, and performed songs from the album on both "Conan" and the "Late Show with David Letterman."
