The New Pornographers “War on the East Coast”

Pitchfork top tracks for 2014
Next up The New Pornographers “War on the East Coast”. Number 93

Mixed feelings about this one. I really like it musically. It has a rock feeling, but is also very techno sounding. It’s very upbeat, with its best moments having that roaring triumphant feel that so many Arcade Fire songs have. Weighing against that, the lyrics are overall not great and the chorus is outright lame. The vocals are very crisp and quite prominent in the mix so it’s hard to not notice them or just tune them out.

Overall worth checking out and if you are someone that doesn’t pay much attention to lyrics you might really like it.
