Recent MySpace Of The Day nominees The New Pornographers have been speaking to NME about their new album, 'Challengers', which is due out this summer.
Bassist John Collins explained that the new long player is nearly finished, before elaborating on the album's sound. "We're getting old so it's slowing down" he says "and we're finally using strings and we've had more people play on it that any other record before, about 20 people. It's a little bit ambitious. I like the song 'All Of The Things That Go To Make Heaven And Earth'. I'd put it in a Roxy Music class. That's sort of a model for a lot of our music throughout our whole career".
