Together is the fifth studio album by Canadian indie rock band the New Pornographers. It was released on May 4, 2010[1] and debuted at number 18 on the Billboard 200.

The album was recorded in seven studios in British Columbia and New York City[2] and features guest appearances by Zach Condon of Beirut, Annie Clark (also known as St. Vincent), Will Sheff of Okkervil River, and the horn players from Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings.[1]

Together is dedicated to the memory of Lynn Calder, the mother of keyboardist Kathryn Calder, and the half-sister of Carl Newman.[2] "Sweet Talk, Sweet Talk" was featured in an early 2011 ad campaign for the Amazon Kindle, while "Moves" was used in a commercial for the Hyundai 2012 Accent and a commercial for T-Mobile.

The album covers features a detail from "The Cliff" (2006) by Martin & Muñoz.

Videos from the album include "Your Hands (Together)", "Crash Years", "Sweet Talk, Sweet Talk", and "Moves".
