The New Pornographers Concert Tickets

The New Pornographers are a Canadian indie rock group formed in 1997 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Their sound is influenced by that of such power pop bands as The Cars and Cheap Trick, but they use much more sophisticated rhythms and chord changes. Although it was widely reported that the New Pornographers got their name from a pamphlet put out by televangelist Jimmy Swaggart condemning rock ‘n’ roll as “the new pornography,” Carl Newman has stated that he came up with the name after watching Shohei Imamura's The Pornographers (1966).

Sometimes it's best to leave a good thing alone. If it ain't broke, don't fix it - that's what they say, isn't it? Canada's The New Pornographers' latest offering 'Together' is by no means an example of a band changing direction, but it is, nevertheless, pretty special. And warm. It also feels a bit like an apology for the somewhat disappointing fourth album 'Challengers'. Certainly for fans of the band it is reliably good...

Tweaking the nose of expectation and laughing in the face of probability, the New Pornographers continue to improve with each new release. Electric Version added depth and consistency to the brilliant potential of Mass Romantic. Twin Cinema introduced an occasional sense of melancholy and a painstakingly precise production to the band's evolving prog-rock-bubblegum sound and was widely acclaimed as the best record of 2005...

Collectives in U.S indie music seem to be deeply in vogue right now. The communal joining of musicians in these quasi-'Supergroups' every couple of years to make an album together is a heart-warming throw back to the 60s and myriad groups formed by a number of talented musicians in those simpler times. The New Pornographers were amongst the first of these modern collectives to spring up, set up as a kind of folly by de facto band leader A...

Yawn. The new New Pornographers album is great. Quelle surprise. This West Coast seven-piece - oh, you know, people like Neko Case and Destroyer's Dan Bejar - made their retro-pop claim to the throne with 2000's Mass Romantic. If that album said "We're good," Electric Version rubs our faces in it. Case and Bejar's voices are great on their own and better together...

Energetic Vancouver group The New Pornographers have produced three albums since forming in 1997. In 2000 there was 'Mass Romantic' and in 2003 'Electric Version'. The tunes on these albums were described as 'power pop', the sort of stuff you have blasting on the car stereo. Band leader A. C. Newman wanted this album to be a bit different and with the help of eight other band members and a truck full of instruments hes succeeded to a certain extent...

If you were to ask 'What do you get if you cross a group of Canadian musicians, a cartoonist filmmaker and a Neko Case?' it might sound like the start of a bad joke, but The New Pornographers career so far has been anything but. A startlingly strong trio of power pop records that challenged the brain as much as the viscera placed them alongside peers Broken Social Scene before the twinkle of new millennia had even left the eye...

Excuse me for being regionalist, but there's a sunniness shining throughout this album that seems distinctly West Coast. In a good way. Challengers, their fourth album, is a strings-heavy collection of neo-Simonfunkel folk, cheeky, better-than-average up-tempo indie and power-pop alt-party tracks, a recipe for disaster unless they're done this well. While most of these are Carl Newman directed, the Dan Bejar tracks are some of the best, especially the very un-Dan Bejarish Myriad Harbour...

Steady as she goes for our West Coast pop superheroes, joining forces once again for album number three. Based around the vision of master songsmith A.C. Newman, this group is nothing without its role players: Dan Bejar, a.k.a. the weirdo Destroyer, who brings his left-field understandings and voice into the fold (his three tracks are the standouts here), as well as Neko Case with her distinctly gorgeous vocals. The songs are driving, led by rhythm guitars and piano, and catchy as all hell...

This latest from Vancouver's indie-pop pride and joy is book-ended by two tunes that could have been lifted from Electric Light Orchestra's Face the Music LP (1975). ELO, for those too young to remember or too lazy to YouTube, took classical sensibilities and instrumentation (violins, cello) to make a kind of wide open orchestral pop, and TNP take a similar tack on several tunes on the ridiculously well-executed Together...
