The Former Site Of is the tenth studio album by Canadian indie rock band the New Pornographers, released on March 27, 2026 via Merge Records. The record was led by the singles "Votive", "Pure Sticker Shock", and "Spooky Action" and was also preceded by an earlier version of "Ballad of the Last Payphone". It is their first album since Brill Bruisers to not feature drummer Joe Seiders following his arrest and removal from the band in 2025. Much of the album was re-recorded, with drum parts instead provided by session player Charley Drayton. The record was written and produced by bandleader A.C. Newman.
