The New Pornographers, "Together"


I decided to switch up the sound a bit for this post. I don't want to overkill with the electro jams.

But, we will stay in the pop realm with today's review.

The New Pornographers have been around the indie scene so long they should be called the Ron Jeremies...budum chi!

Now, excuse me while I clear the crickets from my screen.

Their newest effort, "Together" contains a plethora of great music within. Lead singer, AC Newman is less interested in creating a particularly beautiful sound with his voice and focuses instead on telling stories or creating interesting vignettes for the listener to picture.

The album shifts between an old school, classic rock record and a snap, crackle POP music triumph. Nothing about the album is particularly new or exciting. But, frankly, I don't care. It sounds great. And isn't that the point of music anyway?

There is nothing new to say about this band, really. So just enjoy the music! "Valkyrie In The Roller Disco" combines the two previously mentioned sounds that traverse this record so smoothly into a scrumptious little combo. Check it out below.

This album drops tomorrow.
