With alt-country chanteuse Neko Case periodically joining forces with members of Zumpano and Destroyer, the New Pornographers ply their trade as a sort of indie-rock supergroup. Their sophomore album ELECTRIC VERSION finds the sextet, (septet if you count secret member Dan Bejar), roaming the sunny slopes of power-popdom using chiming harmonies, cheesy keyboards, and punchy guitars as their guideposts. Jittery synths and hooting background vocals make "Chump Change" very Redd Kross-like, power chords and a thumping beat transform "The Laws Have Changed" into a perfect surf-driven new wave song, and the stunning coda in "Testament to Youth in Verse" rings with the beauty of early era Bee Gees. Like fellow Canadians Sloan, this Vancouver-based outfit also has a knack for pumping out guitar-driven Cheap Trick-like pop, and on this collection of songs, the apex is the relentlessly swaggering "It's Only Divine Right." With ELECTRIC VERSION, The New Pornographers once again prove themselves plugged into the mechanics of perfectly rendered power pop.
