AC Newman

“Like his friend Dan Bejar, of Destroyer infamy, Carl Newman is a tremendously gifted songwriter who has the New Pornographers to thank for reining in his tendency to let cleverness run amok.

Newman’s second solo album confirms his position as de facto bandleader in the New Pornos, overflowing as it is with the scholarly power-pop hooks and ringing boy/girl harmonies – here provided by Nicole Atkins and Mates of State Jason Hammel and Kori Gardner Hammel – familiar from that Canadian indie supergroup’s records. Fans who found 2007’s Challengers a bit too circuitous and deliberate will, however, find Get Guilty even more so.” [Toronto Star]

Nicole Atkins helped AC Newman celebrate the release of his new album on Tuesday (1/20) at the Virgin Megastore in NYC’s Union Square (soon to just be “the Virgin Megastore in NYC”). More pictures and the setlist from the free show, below…
