A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist The New Pornographers

  • Marina Chavez

Canadian collective The New Pornographers is what you’d call a top-heavy band. Led by three utterly astounding singer-songwriters—A.C. Newman, Destroyer’s Dan Bejar, and the illustrious Neko Case—the outfit has made a well-deserved name as peddlers of the prickliest power-pop. The Pornos’ latest, 2007's Challengers, isn’t quite as serotonin-splashed as some of its predecessors, but its hooks simmer with just as much sweetness and bite.
