They’re not just a supergroup, a collection of talented musicians. They’re a great band, a whole that’s greater than the sum of its parts

Uncut
Animating even the slowest songs on the album is a sense of play and possibility, the realisation that these musicians can shake off the dust and still surprise us

Pitchfork
A peppy team effort, rich with new wave synths and closely blended harmonies. It’s their first LP without Dan Bejar, and lacks his stranger inklings

Under The Radar
Whiteout Conditions continues very much in the same vein as 2010's Together and 2014's Brill Bruisers. It's also got the introspection and experimentation characteristic of 2007's underrated Challengers

Perhaps it is a sign of The New Pornographers’ talents that Whiteout Conditions, an album that might be perfectly acceptable from another band, feels like a letdown
