The New Pornographers Share “Angelcover”
The New Pornographers have shared new track “Angelcover,” the track arrives ahead of their forthcoming album Continue as a Guest, their debut for Merge Records, which drops on March 31. The band are set for a run of North American shows this spring, with support from Wild Pink. The dates include two sold out nights at Chicago’s Thalia Hall, as well as further performances at New York’s Brooklyn Steel and Boston’s Royale.
“I pictured this one as a weird little George Saunders-esque sketch, a snapshot,” explains frontperson A.C. Newman. “I found myself a lot more concerned with performance and/or delivery, changing melody and phrasing to get a better performance, less concerned, less precious about the original melody or lyric that I wrote. With that in mind, I had the idea of angels visiting me in the night with the message that ‘melody ain’t got nothing on delivery.’ Kind of a fever dream, where feelings take on their own personality and shape.”
