Brill Bruisers by The New Pornographers
Brill Bruisers is an album by The New Pornographers, released in 2014. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 13 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Brill Bruisers”, on 7 lists with a best position of #31.
Brill Bruisers, the New Pornographers' sixth studio album, landed on August 26, 2014, and A.C. Newman pitched it as a celebration record, made by a man past a rough stretch and feeling light. You can hear it: this is the Vancouver collective at full, gleaming power-pop tilt, their many voices piling up over Todd Fancey's guitar, John Collins' bass and Kathryn Calder's keyboards, with Newman, Neko Case and Daniel Bejar all in the mix.
The title track went out first, in June, followed by "War on the East Coast" in July. The album debuted at number 13 on the Billboard 200 and made the shortlist for the 2015 Polaris Music Prize. Whiteout Conditions came next.
