#48 New Pornographers - "War On the East Coast"

Canada's New Pornographers have 3 songs in the Top 100 and I think actually that it's kind of ripping them off that the highest they got was number 48. The year end countdown doesn't always make sense I guess!  It did better than it did on Pitchforks year end countdown though as it landed at #93 there.

"War On the East Coast" is the 3rd single on the "Brill Bruisers" album and just really came out in November. The song is actually number 1 this week on the chart and should probably garner some attention going into 2015. I think it's the song on the new album that sounds most like NP of yesteryear, ever mentioning Canadian city names and seeming to make some sort of social statement wrapped in a love song.  

The New Pornographers are clearly still at the top of their game in 2014 and I can't wait to see them in February at Rams Head Live!  This video is cool too.
