The Best Indie Tunes of 2014 - The New Pornographers


 
 
 
 
The New Pornographer’s Dancehall Domine (Oct'14) has a rolly chorus to make you bop along. Keyboards reminiscent of The Doors and indie guitar of The Killers. It’s contradictory, both an eclectic and by the numbers indie rocker and a song Slant Magazine called an "unabashedly classic-rock sound rave up."




 


The New Pornographers and been mixing it up since 1999 and  Dancehall Domine is from their sixth haymaker Brill Bruisers (Aug’14). The New Pornographers fight out of Vancouver, Canada.

The New Pornographers are influenced by ELO and wanted this album to emulate the comic greatness of Sigue Sigue Sputnik.

The New Pornographers greatest victories are War On The East Coast, My Slow Descent Into Alcoholism, Twin Cinema, Sing Me Spanish Techno and Your Daddy Don’t Know. All orgasmic tracks.
 





Sloppy seconds goes to British new wave band Sigue Sigue Sputnik and Rocket Miss USA from their debut album, and only album that matters, Flaunt It (1986). Sigue Sigue Sputnik were famous for their cypber punk fashion, synth inspired techno beats and punk riffs. 
Flaunt It is an album New Noise Magazine said is "a groundbreaking release that anticipated the rise of sampling and the eventual marriage of rock and high tech." But I have included it here because it's funny as a facial and they inspired the latest New Pornographers album.
 
"Ladies and gentlemen,
There are seven wonders in the world,
You are about to witness the eight one"
