An on going project from a few well known alt music types, The New Pornographers have released their debut album on Mint Records. Featuring Carl Newman (Zumpano), John Collins (The Evaporators) and Kurt Dahle (Limblifter, Age Of Electric) as well as Mint mainstay Neko Case being featured on a couple tracks. Even though the label has been using the high profile of Neko Case as a the main selling point (where she doesn't even use her famous country twang), they really don't have to. With all the talent that this group possesses they are bound for critical raves. This is a pop masterpiece going from psychedelic 60's to hard rocking 70's and even including 80's synth. In the end it's much more straightforward pop than all the collective bands. The album includes the much talked about "Letter from an occupant" from Mint's Vancouver Special benefit compilation. Not taking away from any of the other tracks the stand outs have to be the ones that feature the easily recognizable voice of Kurt Dahle.
