Description

AC NEWMAN aka CARL NEWMAN is otherwise known as the spry redheaded leader of MATADOR’s prime pop music makers, THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS.

On ‘The Slow Wonder’, Newman’s own talents take centre stage, showcasing him as a classic, if eccentric, songwriter, part of a lineage that includes RAY DAVIES, JOHNNY RIVERS, HARRY NILSSON, COLIN BLUNSTONE, DAVE EDMUNDS, ANDY PARTRIDGE, WAYNE
COYNE, BEN FOLDS, BRITT DANIEL…

This is 34 minutes of the best, uplifting power pop you’ve ever heard!

Newman joined the Vancouver BC pop/rock act ZUMPANO, and recorded two albums for SUB POP in 1995 & 1996 before resurfacing in 2000 with the New Pornographers.

Their widely-hailed debut Mass Romantic’ was followed by a 2nd LP, ‘Electric Version’ that became an indie smash and topped the year-end critics’ lists.

“Newman makes pop so informed by pop royalty that he himself should wear a crown of jewels.” - THE STRANGER.
