The New Pornographers are premiering the video for “High Ticket Attractions” off their forthcoming full-length record Whiteout Conditions. Director Dan Huiting (Bon Iver, Sylvan Esso) notes, “I have always wanted to wreck things in music videos, I just never thought I would get a chance to destroy an entire high school!” Whiteout Conditions is due April 7 via Dine Alone Records. Recently, the group also premiered the track “This is the World of the Theater” via Noisey as well as on all streaming services.

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.”
