A.C. Newman

The Slow Wonder

Oh, Canada. Thank you, thank you, thank you for A.C. Newman! Solo project of Carl Newman from The New Pornographers, “The Slow Wonder” is a poppy indie-rock album that will remind you of summer days. Every track is very different and wonderful in its own way. "Miracle Drug", the first track, has been one of my favorite songs of all time since I first heard it almost two years ago... And I can't even begin to explain to you why that is. It may just be that it's SO DAMN CATCHY!

Despite the great simplicity that is demonstrated, there is not a weak song on the album, and it far surpasses anything the New Pornographers have done, in my opinion (sorry, Neko.) I have complete confidence that you will enjoy this listen and not just see it as a follow-up to “Mass Romantic”.

Released 2004, 11 tracks over 34 minutes.
