The Slow Wonder

reviews

Billboard Review
"Unsurprisingly, "Wonder" often shimmies with the trademarks of Newman's current band. Pristine male-female harmonies, spunky chords and catchy choruses abound. . ."
-Annie Zaleski, Billboard, June 1, 2004

The Eye Review
"A.k.a. Carl Newman, the driving force behind The New Pornographers, and who, judging by this playful yet sophisticated preview of his solo debut, could pull up a chair to the Jon Brion/Aimee Mann/Michael Penn table any time he wants to."
-John Sakamoto, "The Anti-Hit List," The Eye, April 1, 2004

Phoenix New Times Review
"As ever, Newman salts his melodies with enough sharp, frugal riffs, absorbing lyrical angles and hard percussion to blow his lightweight contemporaries back into the ether whence they came."
-Andrew Marcus, Phoenix New Times, May 27, 2004

Drowned in Sound Review
"These songs are timeless. These songs are addictive. These songs are great. Why can't every album be like this?"
-Michael Diver, Drowned in Sound, June 7, 2004

Pitchfork Media Review
Rating: 8.8 . . . Newman has created a timeless document. These are soulful sing-alongs with grit, pop nuggets that hold up to hours of repeat play in humid bumper-to-bumper traffic, and ultimately, the sound of a great songwriter hitting his stride." -Brandon Stosuy, Pitchfork Media, June 9, 2004

NY Times Magazine Review
"Clean-cut to the point of camp, Newman, 36, has a Canadian modesty that belies his reputation as one of our continent's shrewdest new songwriters."
-Chris Norris, NY Times Magazine, June 13, 2004
