MP3:  “Your Hands (Together)” – The New Pornographers

The New Pornographers, despite rumors of their imminent demise, have returned to the studio and have a full-length due out May 4.  This first single definitely makes New Pornographers’ fans anxious for the upcoming album . . . The huge band of gypsy musicians that they are breeds a HUGE sound on the track.  “Your Hands (Together)” is an epic, percussive single that makes me think of old 1980′s cop movies for some reason.  Perhaps I’ve just had too much morning coffee and the repetitive rolls and cymbal crashes are a bit much this morning.

Besides . . . I swear I’m hearing lyrics about Lee Majors or something.

Together is out on Matador, May 4.
