Twin Cinema

The New Pornographers

A maximalist explosion of power pop. Interlocking vocals, cryptic lyrics, and shimmering synths create a dense, triumphant, and restless indie rock masterpiece.

Moments Worth Listening For
The slow-burn build of The Bleeding Heart Show that erupts into a massive, multi-tracked choral explosion.
The relentless, motorik guitar chug of Sing Me Spanish Techno that feels like it could go on forever.
The way the title track's jagged, staccato rhythm suddenly smooths out into a soaring vocal hook.
