The New Pornographers announce new album Continue As a Guest

The New Pornographers have announced a new album. On March 31, the group will release Continue As a Guest, which will be their first album released via Merge Records. The first single is “Really Really Light.” Check it out below, along with the album’s tracklist and the band’s upcoming tour dates.

“The idea of continuing as a guest felt very apropos to the times,” said Carl Newman in a press release. “Feeling out of place in culture, in society—not feeling like a part of any zeitgeist, but happy to be separate and living your simple life, your long fade-out. Find your own little nowhere, find some space to fall apart, continue as a guest.”

Continue As a Guest is The New Pornographers’ first new album since 2019’s In the Morse Code of Brake Lights.
