Product Description
From Amazon.com
Imagine a loose consortium of musicians who combine the lilting melodies of the Zombies with the driving hooks of the Kinks. Sure, it's what all the kids are doing these days, but Vancouver's New Pornographers are one of the few--along with the Shins--to get the balance right. Their third full-length offers more of the same smart power-pop that made Mass Romantic and Electric Version instant classics, plus some surprising new moves. As singer/songwriter Carl Newman (The Slow Wonder) has noted, "You can't play ebow without sounding like Eno," and indeed, Brian Eno's sublime early recordings are evoked on this more introspective offering. There are also strong new vocalists joining Neko Case: Nora O'Connor (the Blacks) and Newman's piano-playing niece, Kathryn Calder. If there was a flaw with previous efforts, it was that the contributions of Dan Bejar (Destroyer), fine as they were, sounded somewhat out of place. Just as they're better integrated this time around, Twin Cinema offers every member of this insanely talented ensemble the chance to shine. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

twin cinema - pitchforkmedia,

This review is from: Twin Cinema (Audio CD)
After last year's more refined Electric Version, there was question as to whether Canada's finest power-pop supergroup could recapture the vitality and conviction of their acclaimed debut, Mass Romantic. On their latest outing, Twin Cinema, the band-- still boasting the full lineup of Neko Case, A.C. Newman, Destroyer's Dan Bejar, and others-- answers the question: They don't have to. Here at their most highly evolved, the band moves beyond basic sledgehammer pop hooks to present more developed ideas than on Mass Romantic and a more cohesive sound than on Electric Version to result in their most consistent, confident, and, yes, best album to date.

Very Good,

This review is from: Twin Cinema (Audio CD)
A very good disc filled with interesting song-writing and excellent performances. However, like many discs that are hyped by the hipster, independent media and other influential individuals (e.g., Arcade Fire, Death Cab for Cutie), this disc does not quite live up to its "disc of the year" hype... That said, very well done indeed!
Cheers.

Outstanding,
By A Customer
This review is from: Twin Cinema (Audio CD)
If you are into Canadian indie or alternative bands like Arcade Fire, Metric, Stars, Broken Social Scene, or Wolf Parade, you will love The New Pornographers.The male and female vocalists sing beautifully together, and they complement each other perfectly. Standout tracks include The Bleeding Heart Show, Sing Me Spanish Techno, and Stacked Crooked (but really all the songs are great). A must-buy. Definitely recommended.
