The New Pornographers

On September 19, 2010, The New Pornographers delivered an electrifying performance at Joy Eslava in Madrid. At that time, the band was riding high on the release of their fifth studio album, **"Together,"** which had come out just a few months earlier in May. This album marked a significant moment in their career, featuring an impressive lineup of talent, including standout contributions from frontman Carl Newman and vocalist Neko Case. Although Case was absent from the Madrid show, the band's energy didn't falter, showcasing their signature blend of catchy melodies and intricate harmonies. Interestingly, "Together" was the first New Pornographers album to be released under the marquee label, Matador Records, signaling a pivotal shift in their trajectory. This live recording encapsulates a vibrant era for the band, reflecting their evolution both stylistically and in their growing international appeal. It’s always thrilling to capture a band at such a key moment, don’t you think?
