TNP 3

One Kind Of Solomon
The New Pornographers

This is the third single from their upcoming album In The Morse Code Of Brake Lights.

The excitement of the music makes it soar. Kathryn Calder’s keyboards are lovely and make the music dance, as do Todd Fancey’s guitar solos.

While the lyrics are a meditation on Solomon, the Biblical figure, Neko Case’s part calls for political unity over bad times and signs. It’s a message to be heeded going into an election year. The lyrics in the main feel political.

Another wonderful offering, and maybe the best yet from this album.
