The New Pornographers

In July 2010, when The New Pornographers performed at Òran Mór in Glasgow, they were riding high on the waves of their critically acclaimed album, *Challengers*, released a couple of years earlier in 2007. This album marked a notable evolution in their sound, showcasing a richer, more textured approach while still resonating with their signature power-pop sensibilities. By the time of the live recording, the band was at a pivotal moment in their career, asserting their position as a staple in the indie rock scene. Interestingly, *Challengers* featured guest vocals from Neko Case, whose distinct voice has been a beloved element in their repertoire. This concert not only encapsulated their dynamic energy but also highlighted the camaraderie that fuels their live performances, a testament to their well-honed chemistry as a band. It’s worth noting that moments like this capture the essence of The New Pornographers—melodic, intelligent, and always engaging.
