    To conclude, we ask Carl Newman (aka A.C. Newman) of The New Pornographers some questions about endings and death.

    Newman co-founded the power pop band in 1997 in Vancouver, Canada and the initial lineup also featured Neko Case, Destroyer’s Dan Bejar (who left the band in 2017), John Collins, and Blaine Thurier.

More recent additions are Joe Seiders and Simi Stone.
