iTunes Review
New Pornographers fans who adore Carl Newman's hyperkinetic pop-rock style will find his first solo jaunt, The Slow Wonder, a must. Newman here tones down his Dadaist lyric leanings for a few metaphorical moments. The opener, "Miracle Drug," plays like a sunnier version of Steely Dan narratives such as "With a Gun," while "Come Crash" is a slow, floating track that could be a collaboration between Todd Rundgren and Big Star-era Alex Chilton (think "Hello It's Me" if it'd been on the latter's Sister Lovers) More introspective than his work with the New Pornographers, Slow Wonder is nonetheless packed with hooks and sure to draw in sympathetic listeners.
Recent Customer Reviews
Some of the best pop songs in this day and age.
by Bumbling BeeAC Newman brings us a classic in innovative pop. These songs bring a timeless feel to modern pop rock without the pretense of "indie darling-flash in the pan" acts like Vampire Weekend, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, or The Decemberists. He has a clever way with words matching an artful way with melody. This is what pop-rock radio stations should be playing, in my opinion. Great piece of work throughout!
Someone needs to edit Track 2
by titianblondeThe correct title of Track 2 is "Drink to Me, Babe, Then."
Great
by SeissThis album is consitantly good throughout. It emits some of the 60's pop rhythem and vocals that anyone can love, yet still retains a uniqueness that makes you fell as if you haven't heard it before. Overall its a great album that is definatelly worth a listen.
