If you shout...
Rock n' Roll Doggie VIP PASS
I just wanted to let everybody know that this album is really fucking good. Was at a listening party, tonight, which sadly caused me to miss what sounds like it was a really entertaining Bulls win over the Cavs and which was held at possibly the most awkward location in all of Chicago (the Beauty Bar, which was inexplicably a combination bar and, yes, beauty salon...ugh), but it's all good.
First four songs were STUNNERS, and so were several others. One Neko Case-led track was both incredibly catchy and incredibly adept at making wonderful use of the words "byzantine" in a pop song. Hella-cool. Now typical baroque-pop, rather than the power-pop of days now gone (though there are of course hints of all that the band has done, including a few pretty damn-ass sprightly numbers). Wonderful, stately, fucking immaculate tunes.
Really a great record (after, I admit, just one listen) which I think could float Interference's boat quite well. I cannot recommend reading up on it and then buying a copy strongly enough.

And the first two promo songs. Stunners, both:
YouTube - The New Pornographers - Your Hands (Together)
YouTube - The New Pornographers - Crash Years
