Carl Newman of The New Pornographers has an interview up on Pitchfork where he talks about their new album, tentatively titled Challengers, due sometime around August.
It definitely sounds like something that, when it's quiet, I think it's much quieter than it ever has been, to the point that there are actually songs that don't really have any drums. Or, a song that has no drums for the first half, but then the drums come in, and even then they don't come in that much.
As a bonus later in the interview he talks about the University of Phoenix Online commercial mentioned in my previous posting here.
All of a sudden, people started saying "I saw your commercial during 'Saturday Night Live'" or "I saw your commercial during 'American Idol'," and I thought, "what the hell is up with that?" Then I began to realize that, well, I guess we inadvertently signed up to be in a big commercial. How about that?
Full interview here.
