Another beautifully crafted pop-tastic record from this Canadian/US co-operative, masterminded by A.C. Newman and Neko Case. With such stellar talents to draw from, you’d expect the songwriting to be top notch – and it is.

The fact that there are three fine singers in the band doesn’t hurt either when it comes to laying down the honeyed harmonies that abound on their records. The New Pornographers have always had an uncanny ability to produce unashamedly pop records that draw heavily from their influences, while never roaming dangerously into derivative territory. Together is another fine addition to an impressive body of work.
