Twin Cinema

The 3rd album from Vancouver's pop maestros continues to feature neko Case and Dan Bejar (Destroyer), as well vocalist Kathryn Calder and Nora O'Connor. These songs veer more toward the rocking and the personal than the sugar of earlier works. Chief singer/songwriter A.C. Newman has absorbed not just the mechanics of classic songwriting, but the heart, while indulging his admiration of demented current band like Fiery Furnaces and Frog Eyes. Expect to hear influences from the Moody Blues. Tubeway Army, Wings, Eno, the Stranglers, 10cc, the and other greats, all filtered through Newman's warped world view. "The best pop band alive - CMJ Montly".
