“Back in the day, as a live band, we kind of half-assed it.”

After the New Pornographers reached mid-2000s indie acclaim, their leader, Carl Newman, had an admittedly “super-shallow” thought. “I would go, ‘Must be nice to be” He certainly did: A band of some of his favorite musicians that he’d assembled on a bit of a lark in the late 1990s, making skillful, immediate power-pop. Though the members all had other projects to fall back on, they continued to return to the Pornographers. And in the years since, Newman came to terms with the group’s success.
It’s an ethos that extends to everyone in the New Pornographers, and one that Case has a term for. “We somehow ended up with a whole lot of people who are lifers,” she says, of the group that currently includes her, Newman, Collins, Kathryn Calder, Todd Fancey, and Joe Seiders. Now they’ve found two more lifers in signing to Merge Records, the indie label founded by Superchunk’s Laura Ballance and Mac McCaughan.
