Continue as a Guest is the ninth studio album by indie rock group the New Pornographers, released on March 31, 2023. It has received positive reviews from critics and has been promoted with several single releases and a tour. The album was recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic, requiring band leader and album producer A. C. Newman to work virtually with his bandmates and rely on them recording in other studios and only occasionally recording in-person with fellow musicians. This is the first release by The New Pornographers to feature outside songwriters, with Newman collaborating with Sadie Dupuis via Twitter and also includes Philadelphia-based saxophonist Zach Djanikian, whom Newman was introduced to by some comedian friends. The music explores the loneliness and isolation of the pandemic, as well as feelings of boredom and media overload.
