	The New Pornographers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Their sound is highly influenced by that of such power pop bands as The Cars and Cheap Trick; their songs, however, are generally of a greater melodic and harmonic complexity.
		Carl Newman, who writes about 80 percent of the band's material, has said, "When I seriously started to try to write songs, my main influences were, like, Burt Bacharach, Jim Webb, and Brian Wilson.
		Newman, however, doesn't care for the term: "I'm really tired of that supergroup label, and I wish people would stop using it.

		Carl Newman becomes A.C., and wrings the glorious, shaggy mop, that is The New Pornographers, nearly dry.
		Carl had, oh, so, many of us panting for "The Slow Wonder", and yes, I was in that group—a group that then broke into opposing camps.
		Newman has lost a restless, twitching muscle – let's call it his jiggy leg - now, he's left with his pop smarts, his dry intellect.

		Carl Newman (also known as A.C. Newman) – frontman, lead songwriter, guitarist: In the 1990s, Newman was part of Zumpano, a Sub Pop band with power-pop ambitions that he transferred to the Pornographers.
		Carl Newman has been reading a lot about his band lately, and it's left him a little perplexed, to say the least.
		Newman had finished an album the year before with his pop band Zumpano and was working with another Vancouver band, but he was talking to friends with similar musical interests about starting another project.

		A.C. Newman had a thrilling and prosperous life prior to 1992, but felt he needed more when he joined the Vancouver BC pop/rock act Zumpano.
		This changed when Newman resurfaced in 2000 with The New Pornographers, a benevolent dictatorship - not unlike the American government – though one which seeks to overturn existing social structures.
		Now, for the first time, Newman’s out on his own, and the results are predictably stunning.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on The Slow Wonder - A.C. Newman at Epinions.com
		Previously known as Carl Newman, during his stints with Zumpano and the Pornos, the songwriter now goes by the cryptic A.C. Newman (not so cryptic, to anyone who's read this article [http://www.chartattack.com/DAMN/2004/03/3104.cfm] and seen the accompanying picture -- and been in Dis's comment section lately; the "A" obviously stand for "Argyle").
		Newman's thesis statement, if a power pop record could be said to have such a thing, is hidden in 'Most of Us Prizefighters'.
		Newman is often too obscure for his own good (half of the songs here I can't make heads or tails of).

		Newman's worked hard to slough off the dork within and has by any standard measure succeeded brilliantly.
		Newman loves Bowie and the Kinks, punk and New Wave, but he's not afraid of a gently whistled refrain.
		Newman says he's tired of people describing him as humble and modest, but he is. Asked what he wanted to accomplish on a solo album that couldn't be done in the context of the New Pornographers, he says he didn't really want to accomplish anything.

		With that, singer-songwriter and pop genius Carl Newman dispels the myth that a good band name is essential to success.
		Newman also points out that his solo approach offers a direction that is considerably less rock than what the Pornographers are putting out.
		Given the fact that Newman’s measure of success is simply playing music for a living (and being able to fill a modest-sized venue on a regular basis), chances are we won’t see him becoming a pop juggernaut.

	Splendid: Features: The New Pornographers
		Fronted by principal songwriter Carl Newman and the lovely, lovely Neko Case, the band's live show does justice to its pristinely produced recorded sound, with the aforementioned vocalists joined by drummer/singer John Collins (who fills in live for New Pornographer/Destroyer frontman Dan Bejar).
		Carl: It just seems kind of ridiculous to pursue Canadian fame, because all you have to do is get big in the US and all of the Canadians will slobber all over you.
		Carl: It is. There are tons of bands that just exist solely on touring Canada, and never come to the States because they couldn't handle not being loved.

		Carl, just to expand a little bit on the changes that you made, I don't think we can underline the way that the engineering department really got in behind this thing, and as Paul said, made the whole combination work.
		PAUL NEWMAN: Well, I think above and beyond all of our personal differences, and they have been many, and we have had some scraps, but in the final analysis we were both smart enough to know that the team was simply the most critical thing.

	Carl Newman Goes Solo For The Slow Wonder
		Carl Newman has long proven himself one of Canada’s best songwriters with his bands Zumpano and The New Pornographers.
		Newman, who, to this point has been known as Carl, is going under the name A.C. Newman for this, his first solo record.
		It’ll be nice to see what Newman does with all the power — not like he doesn’t hold sway over the Pornographer’s camp, but still, there’s nothing like a solo album to show what a person really wants to do with their skills.

	SPIN.com: The New Pornographers Twin Cinema (Matador)
		Carl Newman is the captain rather than the star, a pop wonk with a sweet tooth; he writes and sings about half of Twin Cinema.
		She's also the one member of the band who can turn on the star presence when she needs to, and she rips into his ballad "These Are the Fables" like a heartbroken Loretta Lynn.
		Twin Cinema's is that Newman and Bejar aren't willing to risk cheesiness or obviousness, so their lyrics almost never tell more than the splinters of a story or even evoke a coherent mood.

		Take a listen to any of Carl Newman's bands; from the defunct Zumpano to the New Pornographers to his new solo act, A. Newman, there is no question that he runs the show creatively, no matter how many musicians and singers accompany him.
		Zumpano's final album, Goin' Through Changes, is a criminally unheard classic pop album, and the New Pornographers, with Newman and Neko Case singing side by side, have been given their fair and highly deserved acclaim from both critics and lovers of eclectic pop.
		Newman makes no bones that he does, in fact, run the show.

		In June of the year 2004, Matador will be releasing the debut CD/LP from A.C. (Carl) Newman, 'The Slow Wonder.' Recorded with a Canadian government grant, this might be the most efficient use of public funds since the time NYC paid Survival Reseach Labs to shower the Shea Stadium parking lot with counterfeit money.
		Carl writes at least 80% of the material for The New Pornographers, a band you should be very familiar with right about now.
		If Carl was 20 in 1965 in LA Brian Wilson would not have needed Van Dyke Parks, and a few years later in the same town Richard Harris would not have needed Jimmy Webb.

		As the leader of early-’90s groups Superconductor (a multi-guitar dose of metallic bombast) and Zumpano (a polished unit reverent of sunny ’60s radio pop), Newman was at times guilty of tacking excessive finery onto his tunes.
		It’s created a clamor unlike any other record Newman’s been involved with and a demand, at least in Philadelphia, where finding the album has been a task for the intrepid.
		As to reports that this is actually a "supergroup" or side project, Newman scoffs, figuring The New Pornographers are a state of artistic equilibrium between his prior bands.

		Had Mint Records not given the band a deadline, Carl would still be in the studio, leaning over engineer John’s shoulder and saying “Yeah, that should be up,” or “We gotta have a lot of that,” digging through various instruments, asking, “What can we put some pump organ on?” to no one in particular.
		Carl is an equal partner in this New Pornographers mutual appreciation society, and his excitement at having Dan as a bandmate is palpable.
		Says Carl, “Matador was number one on the list of labels that we wanted to sign to, and by some twist of fate we managed to get what we wanted.

	Paste Magazine :: Review :: A.C. Newman - The Slow Wonder :: Matador (Page 1)
		Carl Newman released two weird, wonderful but criminally underappreciated albums in the mid ’90s as the lead singer/songwriter of the now-defunct Zumpano.
		Now he’s back again as A.C. Newman because he likes the rock ’n’ roll connotations, perhaps, although his music is a pretty far cry from AC/DC.
		In the space of 11 concise pop gems, Newman manages the considerable feat of recalling every maddeningly infectious riff you’ve ever heard, careening effortlessly between melodies and chord changes you’ll swear you’ve heard a thousand times, while creating utterly new, adventurous soundscapes.

	* Dusted Reviews - A.C. Newman *
		“AC” are the initials of one Carl Newman, the principal songwriter and usual lead singer for the New Pornographers, a sprawling collective whose first album, Mass Romantic, was released into obscurity in 2000, then became a phenomenal word-of-mouth success during 2001.
		The Slow Wonder, written by Newman and produced by John Collins, Dave Carswell, and Newman, doesn’t differ very much from the music of his full-time outfit, but it’s an impressive display of the sort of catchy and fun (natch) music that Newman can make, even without the substantial talents of his usual collaborators.
		Here’s hoping that, whether it be as AC Newman or the leader of the New Pornographers, Carl Newman keeps writing and recording at his current pace.

		Newman is a classic, if eccentric, songwriter, part of a lineage that includes Ray Davies, Harry Nilsson, Colin Blunstone, Dave Edmunds, Andy Partridge, Ben Folds, and Britt Daniel.
		When pressed to describe Carl Newman's music, I invariably resort to food metaphors: candy, sweetness, ambrosia, etc. For a while, I feared that such metaphors may appear weak, or flimsy.
		I'll admit I've not heard the New Pornographers, but knowing that Newman was from that band (as "Carl Newman") I'll now have to try and dig up some of their stuff as well.

		Taking on the AC Newman moniker, Carl has an uncanny ability to cull the best out of 50 years of pop music.
		A lazy summer anthem, the track features a raggedy drum beat over a slide guitar and melodica, the perfect accompaniment to Newman's lyrics about a relationship that is at the end of its rope.
		Taking chances within the realm of a three minute pop song takes sheer talent, and on The Slow Wonder, Carl Newman proves that he is one of the brightest songwriters working in music these days.

		Not suprisingly, I was pretty excited for this year's solo debut from frontman (Carl) A.C. Newman, the 34 minute indie-pop gem The Slow Wonder.

		I was able to catch Newman & his new band play the Triple Rock upon my return from NYC back in August with Jim B from How Was The Show & good times were had.
