2005, Matador

#11 Seller of 2005! The third album from Vancouver pop maestros The New Pornographers continues to feature Neko Case and Dan Bejar (Destroyer) as well as new vocalists Kathryn Calder and Nora O'Connor. Fans of Mass Romantic's kinkiness will find immediate appeal, as will those partial to Electric Version's drive. Yet the songs on Twin Cinema veer more toward the rocking and the personal than the sugar of the earlier work. Chief singer / songwriter A.C. Newman has absorbed not just the mechanics of classic songwriting -- but the heart, while indulging his admiration of demented current bands like Fiery Furnaces and Frog Eyes. Expect to hear influences from the Moody Blues, Tubeway Army, Wings, Eno, the Stranglers, 10cc and other greats, all filtered through Newman's warped worldview.

Matt Rauch

This is a rare breed of exceptionally well-crafted poppy songs. These guys are truly masters of this genre. Great rhythms, but not too heavy on guitar solos, this is more about the songs. A few of these are fantastic, others less so, but if the whole album was as tight-on as "Use It", it would be exhausting. Can't wait for more.

Jason Stewart

This is Canada's most powerful (and playful) supergroup, and one could easily and convincingly make an argument that Canada, in the mid-aughts, is the epicenter of meaningful modern music, at least as far as the indie scene is concerned. This band is well known for their wildly exuberant brand of popcorn pop, but it's the quieter, more delicate moments on this album that I find the most enchanting. Not that I don't enjoy the pogo-stick kick that prevails on most tracks, mind you. This band's evolution has been positively palpable, and that's very exciting.
