#94 the New Pornographers - "Brill Bruisers"


Seriously, if you are not a New Pornographers fan, I question your hearing capacity. In an alternate (read: better) world, the New Pornographers are like the Beatles playing deliciously hooky, catchy, but not musically watered down pop music for everyone to hear on FM radio and in department stores everywhere. They win Grammys and headline “music festivals” in Las Vegas. They appear nude in tabloid magazines and are spokespeople for watches and toilet paper.  They…. Wait, I got off track.

Canada’s New Pornos came out with their 6th album this year and while it’s not Electric Version or Twin Cinema, it’s better than their last record and therefore earns them 2 spots in the top 100. This is the first, the title track to their 2014 disc “Brill Bruisers”.
Also, if you live in Baltimore, they are playing at Rams Head Live on February 12th. I expect to see you all there!
