The New Pornographers Together

Description

Together is the 5th album by Canadian-US collective The New Pornographers, featuring Neko Case and Destroyers Dan Bejar, in addition to bandleader and chief songwriter A.C. Newman, who All Music Guide says in a perfect world, would be our Elton, our McCartney. Playing to all the New Pornographers strengths, Together combines the freewheeling, glammy spirit of their debut Mass Romantic with the very personal, emotional songwriting of their most recent material. As a result, its an album that aims to please, as exciting for the New Pornographers obsessive as for casual new listeners. Stunning ballads like My Shepherd and Valkyrie In The Roller Disco are among the most beautiful melodies Newman has ever written, and singles Crash Years and Your Hands (Together) rank among faves like The Slow Descent Into Alcoholism and The Laws Have Changed. Vocalist keyboardist Kathryn Calders voice has never integrated so well with Cases, and Bejars three contributions are probably his catchiest and least disjointed. Newman says hes always had a dream of finding the middle ground between Led Zeppelin and The 5th Dimension, which isnt a bad way to describe Togethers mix of deceptively complex songwriting with pop hooks and arena-rock power. This is one of the great bands of the last decade at the top of their game.A1. Moves A2. Crash Years A3. Your Hands (Together) A4. Silver Jenny Dollar A5. Sweet Talk, Sweet Talk A6. My Shepherd B1.
