glad that crapbag is in jail and no longer a threat to children, but goddamn…sympathies to the other members because there is just no way your band name is ever gonna be the same. or your band for that matter. yeesh

In regards to people never viewing the rest of the band the same again, I think they will be fine but may take a step back for a bit. They severed ties with him immediately, plus not like he was a founding member anyways. Fuck Joe Seiders

i think they’ll still be fine in the way that they’re currently fine, i.e. aging indie rock fans who were into them in 2004 will still show up to their gigs. but i think this news does severely reduce the possibility of them having another heyday as a broader awareness band (which is generally not all that unlikely in that “legacy era” phase that they’re in now). the gross surface-level irony is just too extreme

I feel so goddamn bad for the other band members. They wrote so much amazing and joyful music and this glorified session drummer set it all on fire

"Everyone in the band is absolutely shocked, horrified and devastated by the news of the charges against Joe Seiders – and we have immadiately severed all ties with him. Our hearts go out to everyone who has been impacted by his actions." – The New Pornographers 👉 https://www.instagram.com/p/DIkred2RbaJ/

I removed all the New Pornographers scrobbles from my library, there's no room for this kind of evil. Sending strength and prayers to the victims 🙏

Deleted my Terri Nunn scrobbles after learning she performed at Mar-a-Lago. Just can't support that.

None of the other band members had anything to do with this. Joe played on 3 albums and never wrote a song

One mustn't neglect mentioning The Band when mentioning damn good Canadian bands.

I may be a bit biased as an American but America provides some very amazing bands to love as you know. I’m not sure why Canada is overlooked..Australia and Scotland are two others that are very overlooked. Are you into any bands from over there? I wish more people listened to Canada’s bands. What’s not to love?

America rocks, hence the long shadow cast...We Commonwealth folks just need to get over our inferiority complex

I should listen to Continue as a Guest a lot more than I have in the past year.

It's starting to grow on me a lot...but Twin Cinema is probably always going to be my favorite so I feel you.

Ooh, I totally disagree. It's a breath of fresh air for me! Neko and AC have such a haunted feel about them, without losing that New Porno magic in the instrumentals. Slowing it down sounds especially good in headphones, where all those layers get prime time to shine through each track! This is very quickly becoming one of my favorite albums by them!

My favorite thing about the New Pornographers is that they put out these amazing collections of tracks that I madly love, then announce a new album that I tell myself, "Alright, this one won't be as good. They're getting older, it's not gonna feel the same..." It never does feel the same, each album has its own vibe and feel to them, undoubtedly. However, I DO always seem to walk away from each project thinking, "DAMN! Okay, yah, they did it, again." The title track from the new album is precisely the point that brought me to write this little NP diary entry. Fuck. Yes. NPs.

For me it was Brill Bruisers that concurred me, and every other album since. Maybe I will revisit some of their earlier stuff. Was not crazy about Twin Cinema. Maybe I'll try Challengers next.

Brill Bruisers is such a banger! Yes! That was around the time I really started thinking they were gonna lose it. Dan was making his exit from the band around then, too. But yah, still love what they're putting out. Their first few albums definitely are high energy, and were extremely fresh sounding when they came out. NPs definitely inspired a lot of other bands during the 00's & 10's in the indie world.

наряду с foxygen, едва ли не лучшая инди-группа нулевых с точки зрения сонграйтинга, последний альбом так и вовсе ВНЕЗАПНО оказался едва ли не лучше дебютника.

One of the most consistent Bands I've had the pleasure of listening too, up there with Spoon, Little Dragon, and king Gizzard, ect, as far as Modern Music goes anyways.

They always put a smile on my face, new album is upbeat as always and shaping up to be one of their best I think. And plenty of Neko vocals so I'm particularly pleased.

Pretty really good. I feel like it might be the most cohesive album they've put together yet!

"Listening too long to one song" - or one album for that matter. TWIN CINEMA is just marvelous! One great tune after another. Splendid playing and singing. Very idiosyncratic and ornate, while absolutely inviting to hum along to at the same time. This masterpiece isn't slowing down at all, it's just perfect from start to finish. Can't get enough. :)
