AC Newman: Shut Down The Streets

[mp3] AC Newman: "Encyclopedia of Classic Takedowns" 

AC Newman is a stalwart and consistent songwriter, whether under his own moniker or with The New Pornographers. Newman's songs are almost always filled with powerful and sunny vocal blasts, even if the material doesn't always match the rosy melodies. On this first single from his new solo album Shut Down The Streets (10/9 Matador), Newman is backed up by his longtime and always faithful collaborator Neko Case.
