AC Newman

New Pornographers frontman A.C. Newman is back with his second solo album, Get Guilty, and fans of chamber power-pop will find much to enjoy from the new release, out now on Matador Records. To my ears, it’s a little more stately than his previous album The Slow Wonder, with a lot of strong songwriting to boot.
