The New Pornographers - Challengers

$14.98 (list price), Rock/Pop, Matador

Basic Story: Indie rock all-star’s AC Newman, Neko Case and Dan Bejar (Destroyer) team up once again for their fourth full-length.

Sample: “Fingers in paints/ in paints we brought/ thinking we'd leave them when we're not/ flying the flags of new empires in rags.”

Verdict: As is expected of The New Pornographers, Challengers is a collaborative effort. This time around, AC Newman took charge, writing nine of the 12 songs. Stylistically, there isn’t much change from previous records, but with songs as catchy as “My Rights Versus Yours,” it doesn’t matter. The other three tracks are left for Dan Bejar, who continues to be the bands’ saving grace, taking pop for a hard left turn and giving the record a sense of variety. It’s another solid album that gets better with each listen.
