In preparation for their upcoming LP – In The Morse Code Of Brake Lights – The New Pornographers have shared a new track, dubbed “The Surprise Knock.”

The new album is set to be released on Sept. 27 and according to songwriter A.C. Newman, the freshly-baked track is a return to form for the indie rockers.

“‘The Surprise Knock’ had a different feel when we first recorded it—and I wouldn’t mind releasing that version at some point,” he said. “But as I was listening to it, I thought, ‘Why don’t we play this song like New Pornographers 2005?’ Then we just replayed it with that feel. I thought enough time has passed that I feel like I can play songs that sort of sound like a classic a sound and not feel like I’m repeating myself, because it’s been so long. That was definitely a part of it: just wanting to…I hate to say ‘get back,’ but just get more slightly raucous and sounding more like a band.”
