Later this month, power-pop all-star team the New Pornographers will bounce back from a weird, upsetting episode<\/a> with the release of their new album The Former Site Of<\/em>. We’ve already posted their songs “Votive<\/a>” and “Pure Sticker Shock<\/a>,” and now they’ve shared another one called “Spooky Action.” <\/p>\n How spooky could a New Pornographers song possibly be? Not that spooky, right? Well, “Spooky Action” is pretty far from anything that I’d call “spooky.” It is fairly tense and low-key, though, at least compared to most of what this band does. (“The Laws Have Changed” came up on a playlist when I was driving recently, and hoo baby, the world was fun again for a few minutes.) With their latest, the New Pornos build a skeletal psych-rock groove toward one of their melodic explosions. Listen below.<\/p>\n
