"Myriad Harbour" Video Review

Check out this brilliant animated video for Myriad Harbour by The New Pornographers. The song is off the album, Challengers.

The chunky guitar chords are in the usual New Pornos idiom, held together by a slight lead guitar riff and backed by auspicious-sounding strings, like those on Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks".

But the song isn't all detached observation: "All I ever wanted help with was you," Bejar sings, brushing off a sales clerk's query. The line comes as a recognition that what truly defines New York-- or any city-- is not its physical attractions (sorry, tourists), but its people.

The video is as solid as they come; thanks to director Mark Lomond we can take a closer look at the kaleidoscopic, gripping attributes of his fantastic beard. It's a surrealist's paradise, this little cartoon attached to one of last year's very best songs.
