As you may already know, The New Pornographers’ latest album, Together, is due May 4 from Matador (TMT News). Instead of making you wait over a month for the album to be released, The New Pornos have jumped the gun and released the album’s first single, “The Crash Years,” this week on iTunes, available right now for purchase. And if you decide to pre-order Together from Matador’s online store, you’ll receive a free 7-inch with the band covering three songs by Detroit band Outrageous Cherry.
