Matador Records / Remote Control Records celebrate the 21st anniversary of The New Pornographers’ debut record and breakout, Mass Romantic (2000), with the release of a limited-edition LP reissue – out now.
The album – clocking three singers and 12 effervescent and undeniable power-pop gems – returns to us on red vinyl and will include a bonus 7”, Letter From An Occupant, which includes two rare B-sides, ‘The End of Medicine’ and ‘When I Was a Baby.’
All told, Mass Romantic took three years to complete and was initially released in 2000 on Mint Records. From there, momentum seemed to build one members-only message board post at a time, with a small and vocal crowd of fans giving rise to wider excitement – critical praise, radio play, a Juno Award, Ray Davies jumping on stage at SXSW, and so on.
