It’s the Fourth of July, the anniversary of the United States’ independence. So, what better song to highlight today than that of a Canadian indie rock supergroup.

Vancouver’s The New Pornographers are led by A.C. Newman (formerly of Zumpano) and Daniel Bejar (Destoyer) and also features alt-country singer Neko Case, Limblifter’s Kurt Dahle and Todd Fancey the Evaporators‘ John Collins, independent filmmaker Blaine Thurier, and also recently Newman’s niece Kathryn Calder (who appeared in Case’s stead last month on a mini-tour).

After a couple of acclaimed releases (2000’s Mass Romantic and 2003’s Electric Version), the band returns on August 23 with a new disc, Twin Cinema. The band’s US label Matador has made available an MP3 of the first single, also entitled “Twin Cinema” and linked above.
