VINYL FORMAT. 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 mechani   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Features Destroyer leader Dan Bejar, here second-in-command to Carl Newman, (singer/lyricist of Superconductor and Zumpano), with guest vocals by Neko Case (ex-Maow, current Corn Sister, also makes solo albums), plus John Collins (Smugglers/Evaporators), and two other guys no one outside of Canada has heard of.

VINYL FORMAT. Challengers continues along the lines of 2005's Twin Cinema, whose "relative melancholy makes it the band's best album yet" [Blender]; indeed, the first track, "My Rights Vs.

VINYL FORMAT. This scintillating pop masterpiece (and we're not exaggerating) takes the talents of the Vancouver Nine (or is it Eight?) to new levels. Ever bit as infectious and explosive as this supergroup's debut, "Electric Version" is hyperkinetic, crammed with more information than most bands manage in a lifetime.
