Anyone else heard this yet? It's the solo album by Carl Newman, of The New Pornographers and Zumpano fame. It easily ranks among the best work he's ever done. Out next month on Matador. I strongly suggest any fan of power pop, monster melodic hooks and Newman's coolly inventive song structures acquire this as quickly as possible.
