Hello everyone, and welcome to another Wednesday on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. Today I thought that we'd showcase The New Pornographers, seeing as it is Random Music Wednesday, and I can share a couple tracks from the (fairly) recent album Challengers. I really enjoyed this album, that my favorite cousin (shhh!) Joseph bought me for my birthday. So, I'll allow you a moment to prepare yourself for the breathtaking, the pristine, the magnificent, The New Pornographers. Alright, your minute is up.
The New Pornographers are a super group, honestly a SUPER group, from Vancouver, who formed in 1997. The members are as follows; Dan Bejar (of Destroyer and Swan Lake fame); Kathryn Calder (of Immaculate Machine fame); Neko Case (a very accomplished solo artist); John Collins (of the Evaporators fame); Kurt Dahle (of Limblifter and Age of Electric fame); A.C Newman (of A.C Newman fame); and Blaine Thurier, who is an independent filmmaker. As you can see, I was not even slightly kidding when I said they were a supergroup.
The band has released four albums to date, entitled Mass Romantic, Electric Version, Twin Cinema and Challengers. Out these four albums, I have to say that Twin Cinema and Challengers are tied for first, with Electric Version coming in a close second. Anyways, I'll share a couple tracks, so here you go.
The Spirit Of Giving - The New Pornographers (Written & sung by Mr.Dan Bejar, my favorite pornographer)
Myriad Harbour - The New Pornographers (Also written & sung by Mr.Bejar)
Electric Version - The New Pornographers
The first two tracks are off of Challengers and the last track is off, you guessed it, Electric Version.
Enjoy these tracks and see you tomorrow.
