Canadian indie rock/power-pop group formed in Vancouver in 1997; led by A.C. Newman (Carl Newman) with Neko Case and Dan Bejar among core members; active 1997–present; noted for albums such as Mass Romantic (2000), Electric Version (2003), Twin Cinema (2005), Challengers (2007), Brill Bruisers (2014), Whiteout Conditions (2017), In the Morse Code of Brake Lights (2019), Continue as a Guest (2023).

Four DeBaser reviews paint The New Pornographers as a Canadian powerhouse of hook-stuffed indie rock and power pop. Mass Romantic earns raves for spotless songwriting and standout tracks like Letter from an Occupant and Execution Day. Electric Version thrills with immediate, explosive choruses, though some find it predictable over time. Twin Cinema is hailed as high-level pop: joyful, melodic, never banal.
