[New Release] The New Pornographers "Twin Cinema"

— Herman Snell and Alex Slawson

The New Pornographers — "Twin Cinema" In the Byrds/Beatles power-pop reflection of Elephant 6, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Beta Band, The Comas and The Shins, the rise and fall of the indie psych pop flavor-of-the-month continues to shine on The New Pornographers on their third proper album. Much like its predecessors, "Twin Cinema" is a mish-mash of brilliant collaboration by each of the band members, losing the cohesive masterpiece shown in frontman A.C. Newman's "The Slow Wonder." These beautiful flaws run the psychedelic gamut from the haunting pop melodies of Newman's tracks to something straight out of Robyn Hitchcock's seminal works with The Soft Boys.
