A.C. Newman – The Slow Wonder (CD, Album, Matador OLE 615-2 / The Blue Curtain OLE 615-2)

Why This CD Matters
The Slow Wonder is the 2004 solo debut from A.C. Newman, a principal songwriter and vocalist with The New Pornographers. Its concise indie-rock songs pair layered melodies with Newman's distinctive songwriting, heard in “Miracle Drug” and “The Battle For Straight Time.” The eleven-track album offers a focused look at his work outside the band.
