Mass Romantic

Mass Romantic is the debut studio album by Canadian indie rock supergroup the New Pornographers, released on November 21, 2000 on Mint Records. Produced by David Carswell and bass guitarist John Collins, the album was worked on for almost three years, with musicians A.C. Newman and Dan Bejar writing songs as early as 1998. With encouragement from peers, they recorded an album with other Canadian musicians from groups including the Evaporators, Zumpano, and Destroyer. The album failed to chart in Canada or the United States, but the group had a sold-out tour, due to very positive reviews.
