The New Pornographers

US first press 2014. New, unsealed. Deluxe Edition, Limited Edition, Multicolor Splatter on Cream
This is The New Pornographers doing what they do best which is throwing about an irresponsible amount of hooks and somehow never losing control of it. Big shiny choruses stacked on top of more choruses harmonies everywhere and songs that feel like they’re sprinting but still landing perfectly on their feet. It’s power pop in full technicolour absolutely bursting with ideas and zero interest in minimalism. You put it on thinking one song will do and suddenly you’re halfway through side two wondering why every band doesn’t sound this fun. Pure sugar rush but expertly made. Class. FFO Power pop perfection, indie rock with pop brains, huge harmonies, records that make you smile before you realise it
