The New Pornographers

In January 2019, The New Pornographers were enjoying a resurgence in their career with the release of their album "In The Morse Code of Brake Lights." This album marked a significant addition to their discography, following their previous work, "Brill Bruisers," released in 2014. The live recording of "The Surprise Knock" showcases the band's refined sound and collaborative dynamic, which has been a hallmark of their style since their inception. Interestingly, this performance captures the band during a period of lineup stability, featuring members such as A.C. Newman, Neko Case, and Dan Bejar, who have been integral to the group's identity. The intimate setting of The Current allows for an authentic representation of their music, reflecting the evolution of their sound while maintaining the catchy, melodic essence that has endeared them to fans over the years.
