Whiteout Conditions, the new full-length record from critically acclaimed supergroup The New Pornographers, is due April 7 via Dine Alone Records in Canada. In celebration of the new album, the group is sharing the interactive lyric video for the track “High Ticket Attractions”created by Vancouver-based interactive artist Chris Shier. Watch it here.

Beginning April 18th, The New Pornographers will tour the U.S and Europe, kicking off their run of dates at Minneapolis’ storied First Avenue. Tickets for all shows include a free download of the new album, and can be purchased from www.thenewpornographers.com. Full tour dates are below.

Of writing the new record, founder and frontman A.C. Newman notes that, “at the beginning of this record, there was some thinking that we wanted it to be like a Krautrock Fifth Dimension. Of course, our mutated idea of what Krautrock is probably doesn’t sound like Krautrock at all. But we were thinking: Let’s try and rock in a different way.”
