New New Pornographers - "Crash Years" "Your Hands (Together)"

May is going to be a wild month. The likes of Broken Social Scene, the Hold Steady, Sharon Jones, the National, Foals, LCD Soundsystem and Band of Horses all have albums coming out between the 1st and 31st, but none of them get my endorphins a-flowin' like the news and accompanying single of the New Pornographers' Together (due May 4 from Matador). For a reason I can't put my finger on, I just feel like this will be an important and thoroughly satisfying album.

Maybe it's the fantastic first single, "Your Hands (Together)." Or the fact that St. Vincent's Annie Clark, Okkervil River's Will Sheff, Beirut's Zach Condon and Sharon Jones' Horn Players are all confirmed album guests.

Either way, here is that fantastic song. I know it's late; I rather wanted to post the song "The Crash Years," which was released earlier today, but apparently iTunes is only offering it to Americans at this point.

Since, you know, the band are as American as G.I. Joe and Apple Pie.

OR NOT.

You lucky Americans can apparently buy the song here. Everybody else will just have to wait.
