Celebrating 20 years of The New Pornographers bandleader A.C. Newman’s first solo album 'The Slow Wonder' (2004) with a new limited edition pressing of the long out of print LP on cream-colored vinyl. Limited to 500 copies worldwide.

"The Understated Masterpiece of the Canadian Indie Boom” - Exclaim!

“By a stride, the best power-pop album of 2004 […] Newman has created a timeless document.” - Pitchfork, 8.8 Best New Music Rating

"In the space of 11 concise pop gems, Newman manages the considerable feat of recalling every maddeningly infectious riff you’ve ever heard” - Paste Magazine

“Standout track [“Miracle Drug”] perfectly encapsulates Newman’s significant talent both as an arranger (that insistent ’60s drum beat plus jolt of an electric guitar line plus….maybe a beeping alarm clock?) and intriguingly oblique lyricist.” - Billboard
