New Pornographers - Electric Vision on CD

Description

Take one listen to the soaring summer harmonies and meaty power-pop production on Electric Version and the New Pornographers' country of origin becomes obvious. Canada has never been shy of wearing its love for the Beach Boys and Cheap Trick on its sleeve and the second album from alt. country star Neko Case's Vancouver supergroup-of-sorts contains exactly the sort of contagious, chunky pop melodies you'd expect. Songs like "Chump Change" and "Miss Teen Wordpower" fizz and crackle with catchy "ba-ba-ba" choruses, Case coming across like a Suzi Quatro in waiting, bouncy and irresistible like fellow Matador stars Guided by Voices. Super-charged like the Go-Go's, sexy like early Pretenders, this is a real treat. --Everett True
