The New Pornographers – “Really Really Light”

The New Pornographers have a new record label. A.C. Newman and friends will release their ninth album Continue As A Guest on the last day of March via Merge. It’s preceded today by opening track “Really Really Light.” The song was written by Newman and Dan Bejar, and although Newman is on lead vocals here, it’s the only song with a Bejar credit on the album. (Notably, Newman wrote ninth track “Firework In The Falling Snow” with Sadie Dupuis of Speedy Ortiz.) Newman’s bandmates this time around are Neko Case, Kathryn Calder, John Collins, Todd Fancey, and Joe Seiders, with saxophonist Zach Djanikian essentially functioning as a seventh member.
