Happy Tuesday pals
I saw The New Pornographers (and Mini Mansions supporting) on Tuesday. No Neko Case in evidence, alas, but this song was still my highlight...

We just saw the NPs on Tuesday in Ithaca. Good show, as usual. No Neko, but tons of Bejar. They also played this song, which is so great. 'Challengers' is not their best album, but I feel like it's underrated, or at least the best stuff on it (like this song) is underrated.

Sleeping for years, pick through what is left through the pieces that fell and rose from the depths.
This has unusual transitions, progressions, timing, and has a gentle intimacy that contrasts well with the typical New Pornographers harmonies in the later sections. Possibly my favorite of their work.
