Mass Romantic (Revisionist History Anniversary Reissue) (Red Vinyl)
Matador Records will celebrate the 21st anniversary of The New Pornographers’ debut record and breakout, Mass Romantic (2000), with a limited-edition LP reissue
The album – clocking three singers and 12 effervescent and undeniable power-pop gems – will return to us on red vinyl and will include a bonus 7”, Letter From An Occupant, which includes two rare B-sides, “The End of Medicine” and “When I Was a Baby.”
All told, Mass Romantic took three years to complete and was initially released in 2000 on Mint Records. From there, momentum seemed to build one members-only message board post at a time, with a small and vocal crowd of fans giving rise to wider excitement -– critical praise, radio play, a Juno Award, Ray Davies jumping on stage at SXSW, and so on.
This reissue serves as the latest entry in Matador Records’ Revisionist History series.
