I agree. Has a band ever been overlooked so much. It's my opinion but... Beatles. Blonde. The new pornograthers. Love them... The pipettes (English bubble gum, lovely gum) Are close but these guys are so special.
Gorgeous song. "Brill Bruisers" left me a bit cold, but this is a brilliant blending of that icy 80's synth sound with the sort of driving power-pop from the "Twin Cinema" era. Love this. Great lyrics, too. Sounds like another divorce song, but that chorus captures the feeling of depression so, so well.
-Letter from an Occupant -The Laws Have Changed -Sing Me Spanish Techno -Myriad Harbour -Sweet Talk, Sweet Talk -Dancehall Domine -Whiteout Conditions -Falling Down the Stairs of Your Smile And those are just the best of each album, there's tons more that are almost at this tier. How the helck are these people so talented!?!?
Only just discovered the NPs - I'd seen their name but not heard the music and mistakenly presumed they'd be really hard going (for years I thought The Dresden Dolls were probably a terrible German punk band). Some of the gorgeous chord changes remind me of Wire's Kindey Bingos but this is utterly thrilling considering it is about depression and although I have never had to drive to work in a Canadian winter I can understand what they mean.
love the songwriting and the prose delivery..with that running melodic jam...alot of the albums tunes just keeps popping up in a nice way in my head here and there...3 days down the track..when i am zoned out naturally in a way in that moment everythings just fine.

This is a 100% jam...
One of the best songs ever written about living with depression...
@Purplemoonfish No it isn't.
You're both right .
I'm with you David.
Depression is often delt with drugs.
So it's depression first.
And it is a lovely song to people like us that 'get it' .
@Purplemoonfish Carl himself said in an interview it was about depression and dealing with the loss of his sister.
Agree completely!!!
Flying and feeling the ceiling
And barely dealing
And the faintest, the faintest of praises
Are too revealing
Such a waste of a beautiful day
Someone should say it
Such a waste of the only impossible, logical way in
A fly-in at LA was open
I wasn't hoping for a win
I was hoping for freedom
You couldn't beat 'em
So you crumbled, you doubled your dosage
You wanna go, said the inhibitor blocking the passage
That thing is massive
And the sky will come for you once
Just sit tight until it's done
The sky will come for you once
Just sit tight until it's done
Got so hooked on a feeling
I started dealing
In a stage of grief so demanding
I got a stand-in
Every radio buzzing, it wasn't the dream of the moment
Wasn't the current that carried me, keeping me going
Only want to get to work
But every morning I'm too sick to drive
Suffering whiteout conditions
Forget the mission, just get out alive
Only want to glean the purpose
Only to scratch the surface, raise the plow
Suffering whiteout conditions
Forget your mission, just get out somehow
Everyone suddenly busy
Suddenly dizzy
You're so easy, it's pushing you over
They're taking tours
Of a treacherous trip of the badlands
You have your demands
Maybe you're right, but nothing is just a bad hand
Only want to get to work
But every morning I'm too sick to drive
Suffering whiteout conditions
Forget the mission, just get out alive
Only want to glean the purpose
Only to scratch the surface, raise the plow
Suffering whiteout conditions
Forget your mission, just get out somehow
Finally flying the ceiling
I see myself
And the revival, it suddenly hits me
It's going viral
Such a waste of a beautiful day
Someone should say it
Such a waste of the only impossible, logical way in
Got so hooked on a feeling
I started dealing
But the days spent kicking the cages
Are too revealing
So committed to your misfortune
But still a cheater
Such a waste of a beautiful day
Wish you could be here
Some times there are perfect songs. And then there are songs that redefine what is possible and what perfection could even be.
Newman’s vocals on the outro (“such a waste of a beautiful day”) are stirring
i love this song so damn much
A.C. Newman's phrasing on this fucking brilliant. I can't imagine how hard it is to sing live.
He's working on a different level than pretty much anyone else.
I don't even understand how you guys are such a goddamn hit factory. Nobody writes catchy melodies as consistently as AC Newman.
I agree.
Has a band ever been overlooked so much.
It's my opinion but...
Beatles.
Blonde.
The new pornograthers.
Love them...
The pipettes (English bubble gum, lovely gum)
Are close but these guys are so special.
Ha, what a load of overblown BS
Wow incredible universe its like nothing matters anymore due to extreme knowledge joe knows
These songs are even better LIVE !!!!! GO SEE THIS BAND !!!!
Gorgeous song. "Brill Bruisers" left me a bit cold, but this is a brilliant blending of that icy 80's synth sound with the sort of driving power-pop from the "Twin Cinema" era. Love this. Great lyrics, too. Sounds like another divorce song, but that chorus captures the feeling of depression so, so well.
-Letter from an Occupant
-The Laws Have Changed
-Sing Me Spanish Techno
-Myriad Harbour
-Sweet Talk, Sweet Talk
-Dancehall Domine
-Whiteout Conditions
-Falling Down the Stairs of Your Smile
And those are just the best of each album, there's tons more that are almost at this tier. How the helck are these people so talented!?!?
It's a tie between Whiteout Conditions and Avalanche Alley for me. That chorus in AA fucking slaps.
Thank you for introducing me to this band, Karen! Wherever you are now...
I'm a long time fan of this band. I think this is one of their best songs. This band sounds as fresh as ever at the end of their second decade.
The phrasing is extraordinary and exemplary.
As a long time fan I'm excited. This is one of their best songs to date. What incredible artists.
Absolutely agree with you. An amazing album.
This is really, really, really, good.
I was so damn happy when they played this at the Danforth Music Hall last Tuesday
Only just discovered the NPs - I'd seen their name but not heard the music and mistakenly presumed they'd be really hard going (for years I thought The Dresden Dolls were probably a terrible German punk band). Some of the gorgeous chord changes remind me of Wire's Kindey Bingos but this is utterly thrilling considering it is about depression and although I have never had to drive to work in a Canadian winter I can understand what they mean.
The chorus by Simi Stone and Kathryn Calder is out of this world.
That is Neko, not Simi, on the studio track. However, if you saw them on tour, probably Simi.
The most beautiful song ever written!
30 years a manic depressive says "love love love this!"
I hope one day that record comes to an end :)
I get ya, and love ya.
Anyone who gets this song is fucking special.
Hey. You can also love this song as a 25 year old with a more generalized kind of depression.
@@treeguyfly Did someone tell you that you couldn't?
I heard this song on an Indy radio station the other night and it’s my new favorite song. I love discovering new bands and songs to listen to.
love the songwriting and the prose delivery..with that running melodic jam...alot of the albums tunes just keeps popping up in a nice way in my head here and there...3 days down the track..when i am zoned out naturally in a way in that moment everythings
just fine.
this would have been on The OC mixtape back in the day
love it, a band i have been following for a good while long.
just heard this on the Current. this is fucking amazing
Heard this in whole foods market and loved it I shazamed it.
Just saw them in Paris, it was amazing, despite some sound issues
what a voice
Love this Album! A C and Niko superb and Kathryn's really kicked it up.
I dig this jam fir sure
Holy shit. Amazing!
An absolutely great tune!
Thanks for the new single to start my Friday!
Thanks and Sharing love this innovative band.......
como se echaba tanto de menos algo así!!buena música!
Great song !! Sounds uplifting to me ;-))))
I like it!
New Favorite!
Heard this sitting at sonic had to find out what it was. Good stuff.
Very Nice
I just found y'all on the Indie music channel on my TV a few hours ago.....
And y'all are fucking great
Maddie Eggers Why did you say "y'all" twice? Super-annoying.
@@bionicbigfoot2790 Not as annoying as your unnecessary comment, jeez. I don't even care that it was three years ago.
fucking great song
ugh! ♥
So good. The hype train keeps rolling along.
Uma das músicas mais legais que já ouvi
Complimente from a new listener :)

everyone suddenly busy
suddenly dizzy
you’re so easy; it’s pushing you over to taking tours
of a treacherous trip of the badlands
you had your demands
maybe you’re right but nothing - it’s just a bad hand

suffering whiteout conditions
forget the mission just get out alive
only want to glean the purpose
only to scratch the surface
raise the cloud
suffering whiteout conditions
forget your mission just get out somehow
finding a fly on the ceiling
I see myself

it’s going viral
such a waste of a beautiful day

Life in Michigan lmao
Beautiful state! Shit weather. Lol. But if you ask where I live, a finger pointing on my hand makes it so easy. :)
@weezy weezy No.
NOISE
80s called and said it wants its pop back.
comes off a bit sappy now no?
Still not sick of Brill Bruisers, slow down dammit!
They have plenty of album to explore.
Anyone get Snow patrol vibes from this band?
Pornoaphere
too greezy. way too greezy.
Great band, stupid name.
matthew arthur Agreed totally. Roll your eyes at the name and then discover great songs like this. But still...that name. Stupid.
IKR
Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart called Rock and Roll "The new pornography"
I actually think it's one of the greatest band names in all of rock and roll.
matthew arthur I like it. It stands out. It’s definitely not a name I’ll forget anytime soon. So the name did it’s purpose
