| The New Pornographers
are a super-group, as deserving of the tag as Vancouver - or any city
across the land - is likely to produce. Take a great singer, peerless
songwriter and stunning studio arranger in Carl
Newman, and remove him from the complex, (some say) overwrought
easy listening environment of his band, Zumpano.
Add to it Dan Bejar, a/k/a Destroyer,
a musician-about-town and brilliant songwriter in his own right, whose
own work has established him as a reluctant hero, an underground underdog
actually worthy of the spotlight he's anxious to shun. Add a third
singer in the distinct pipes of Mint's
sonic bombshell, Neko Case. A fourth
voice takes the form of Limblifter
drummer Kurt Dahle, who contributes
from behind the kit to the backing chorus. Engineer,
studio co-owner, bassist, member of Nardwuar's
The Evaporators and Thee
Goblins John Collins is the
fifth member. And the sixth: keyboardist Blaine
Thurier, writer and director of the indie film, Low
Self Esteem Girl. |
