A.C. Newman - The Slow Wonder 20th Anniversary Tour plus Landlady (Solo)
City Winery Boston presents A.C. Newman - The Slow Wonder 20th Anniversary Tour plus Landlady (Solo) live on Wednesday, November 20th at 7:30pm.
20 years ago, in the summer of 2004 Matador Records put out The New Pornographers bandleader A.C. Newman’s critically acclaimed, debut solo album The Slow Wonder.
To celebrate two decades of this record, which Exclaim! recently dubbed “The Understated Masterpiece of the Canadian Indie Boom” in a retrospective, Newman will be performing The Slow Wonder in its entirety on a short run of very special shows.
“By a stride, the best power-pop album of 2004 […] Newman has created a timeless document.” - Pitchfork, 8.8 Best New Music Rating
"In the space of 11 concise pop gems, Newman manages the considerable feat of recalling every maddeningly infectious riff you’ve ever heard” - Paste Magazine
“Standout track [“Miracle Drug”] perfectly encapsulates Newman’s significant talent both as an arranger (that insistent ’60s drum beat plus jolt of an electric guitar line plus….maybe a beeping alarm clock?) and intriguingly oblique lyricist.” - Billboard
Landlady (Solo):
Extra extra read all about it! Landlady are back and older than ever! Adam Schatz has spent the last batch of years touring heavily with Japanese Breakfast & Neko Case, while twisting his own & others' generous arms to work on the newest Landlady album, a song cycle entitled Make Up / Lost Time which is due for release in early 2025.
Schatz has also played saxophone & keys on recent releases from Wild Pink, Caroline Rose, and Wye Oak and produced records from Sarah Goldstone & Allegra Krieger, with more fun stuff coming out in the near future. His writing has appeared in the NY Times, The Talkhouse and CREEM Magazine.
