I didn’t discover The New Pornographers until 2007’s Challengers. For those of you that don’t know, I didn’t discover indie rock until 2007, having been lost in a haze of folk and alt-country for about 10 years. Hence, even today, there are many classic albums and great musicians that I still haven’t heard yet.
But I digress, back to Challengers. I listened to it the first time and it really didn’t seem like anything special. I listened to it 2 more times after that and still no grand euphoria. So I figuratively put the album up on the shelf and forgot about it. One day later I decided to giveChallengers one last chance as I parked my car at the airport. I kept it rolling as I entered the airport, waited for my flight, and boarded. It was pure power pop bliss (And if you don’t know what "power pop" is, I suggest you purchase a copy of Challengers right frickin’ now and figure it out).
