Scratch records in Vancouver has released a couple old New
Pornographer-related songs on 45. Looks cool.
Thee Crusaders
Early amazing 1992 effort from this all star band led by New Pornographers
leader (and Zumpano, Superconductor) and vocalist Carl Newman. Thee
Crusaders belted out spiritedly ragged guitar pop versions of childhood
Christian campfire songs. New Pornographers keyboardist Blaine Thurier was
also in Thee Crusaders, as was Vancouver Nights/Kreviss/The Gay
singer/keyboardist Sara Lapsley, as was Good Horsey/Capozzi Park leader and
solo artist Mark Szabo, as was Destroyer/Battles drummer Scott Morgan (aka
Kranky recording artist Loscil). Can you say supergroup way ahead of their
time? A classic and overlooked piece of Vancouver and Canadian pop history?
Featuring a one off guitar solo from Carl Newman on Humble Yourself that I
will proudly say is near genius. Thoroughly wacked and wonderful.
