14. The New Pornographers

14. The New Porno-graphers - Together

Named after something Jimmy Swaggart said about rock and roll being the "new pornography" or after a Japanese film titled The Pornographers, this indie Canadian group has an all-star cast. A.C. Newman with a thriving solo project, as well as Neko Case, indie alt-country darling. Kathryn Calder, Newman's niece was brought on to help out during Neko's burgeoning career, but both were present during the last tour. Calder has a solo album out right now as well. Orchestrated, jangly pop, this band is one of my favorites as well and I love their sound and their intricate lyrics. Newman is a master singer/songwriter and you should check out his infectious solo work as well. I included both videos because they are both visually stunning.
