Over the course of 14 years and five albums, The New Pornographers has rooted itself at the intersection between accessibility and edginess.
In a genre that the band has called its own through several albums, there’s little new territory, but where past releases have kicked at the dirt, Together plows through the intersection of lo-fi grit and shiny studio pop with a high-powered tiller, delving deeper with a set of intricate, astonishing pop songs.
The biggest change on Together that contrasts The New Pornographers’ past work is the density and complexity of the songs.
