Twin Cinema by The New Pornographers
Twin Cinema is an album by The New Pornographers, released in 2005. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 28 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Sing Me Spanish Techno”, on 15 lists with a best position of #60.
Twin Cinema, the third album from Vancouver's New Pornographers, arrived on August 23, 2005, through Mint and Matador, and it's power pop with the throttle jammed open. This is a collective stocked with singer-songwriters, A.C. Newman, Neko Case and Daniel Bejar among them, and the songs keep swapping voices and shapes the way a good mixtape swaps moods: bright, overstuffed, bullheaded guitar pop that never sits still long enough to get boring.
The title track and "Use It" rush along on sugar and nerve, "Sing Me Spanish Techno" is all crunch and chorus, and "The Bleeding Heart Show" builds and builds until it bursts. Canada noticed: the record was shortlisted for the 2006 Polaris Music Prize and picked up a Juno nomination for Alternative Album of the Year.
