The New Pornographers Share New Song “Pontius Pilate’s Home Movies”: Listen

The band’s latest from the forthcoming album Continue as a Guest

The New Pornographers have shared their latest song from the upcoming album Continue as a Guest (out March 31 via Merge). “Pontius Pilate’s Home Movies” follows the previous singles “Really Really Light” and “Angelcover.” Listen to the new one below.

“Lyrically, it is very much a stream-of-consciousness story about the disease of social media and online culture,” the New Pornographers’ A.C. Newman said in a statement. “The narrator that only likes art when it changes the subject, buried in daydream, thinking it’s an entrance, and the idea of Pontius Pilate entertaining his friends with home movies of the crucifixion (what else would he be showing? That part’s clear, right?). It was a product of being stuck at home at a time when online was the only way for many to communicate, and obviously it had its negatives. One of those songs that might seem like word salad but is not, its disjointed nature very deliberate.”
