Product Details

Released in 2005, Twin Cinema landed at a moment when indie rock's appetite for maximalist, harmony-stacked songcraft was at its peak, and the New Pornographers delivered exactly that without ever sounding calculated. A.C. Newman's knack for burying genuine emotional weight inside arrangements that feel like pure joy in motion is what separates this band from their contemporaries, and this record captures that tension better than most.

The 3rd album from Vancouver's pop maestros continues to feature neko Case and Dan Bejar (Destroyer), as well vocalist Kathryn Calder and Nora O'Connor. These songs veer more toward the rocking and the personal than the sugar of earlier works. 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 band like Fiery Furnaces and Frog Eyes. Expect to hear influences from the Moody Blues. Tubeway Army, Wings, Eno, the Stranglers, 10cc, the and other greats, all filtered through Newman's warped world view. "The best pop band alive - CMJ Montly".
