The New Pornographers

The New Pornographers description

Long-shining indie stars The New Pornographers return to Adelaide for the first time in 10 years. The Canadian eight-piece, one of the few bands to employ multiple lead vocalists (a province usually left to obscure outfits like The Beatles), are remarkably intact given the status and commitments of their members and in 2019 released their 8th lauded album In the Morse Code of Brake Lights. While lyrically reflecting the political and climatic unease of the times there’s still those sugar rush choruses, delicious bass lines and sheer upbeat glee. Who could imagine bliss and unease could so easily cohabitate? An unmissable gig by this great pop collective.

Their hooks are some of indie-rock’s most roundly pleasurable.
