The Dan Bejar led tracks have always been my favorite from The New Pornographers. I’ve honestly always preferred Destroyer (Bejar’s solo project) to The New Pornographers, but this new album may change my opinion. This sounds like a seamless blending of the two sounds. Bejar’s vocals (of course), The New Pornographers energy and some really nice Destroyer-esque synths. The video is pretty neat too. In it, Bejar and AC Newman walk the streets of Vancouver, BC as some sort of riot (or war?) unfolds around them. There’s also the weird little fact that Newman appears to be singing, but it’s Bejar’s voice. Check it out below and you can be equally confused and intrigued.

Brill Bruisers will be released August 25th via Matador Records.
