Its been a year and three months since I first purchased the album Twin Cinema by The New Pornographers. It was Christmas Eve, and much like millions and millions of children all over the world I could not sleep. Luckily for me, and not so much those other million children, I had wi-fi and a computer to help pass the time, and it was in that context that I listened to Twin Cinema. Ever since it has been one of my favorite New Pornographers records and it made, yes made, me fall in love with the voices of Dan Bejar (of Swan Lake and Destroyer) and Neko Case (who has a fantastic solo career). My favorite song continues to be Jackie Dressed in Cobras, a track that is closer to end of the album and really turned me on to Bejar’s weirdly sensitive voice. With an interesting song structure and off beat lyrics it stands apart on the album which mainly consists of tunes that would sound great in a car commercial.
