Apologies to the Queen Mary, Wolf Parade

Artist: Wolf Parade
Album: Apologies to the Queen Mary, 2005
Label: Sub Pop

Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto, the Wolf Parade has taken over the classroom and is sure to keep you up to date on the modern world. Industrial rock at it best, Wolf Parade gives the vibe of installed art show at a sheet metal processing plant. The first album from the Canadian band, based out of Montreal, comes after three EP's and sign up with the popular label Sub Pop.
Vocalists Spencer Krug and Dan Boeckner really find themselves in wavering voices of what sounds to be two lost men that know where is at. The arrangements are layered without being repetitious, and have a full sound that can keep the ear of any listener keen to detect the layers. The album's songs are all worth a listen though "Fancy Claps" and "The Same Ghost Every Night" wouldn't make a best of album, and maybe shouldn't have made this one. This is no singer song writer, the Wolf Parade create their own sound scape. Welcome to the parade Miss Red Riding Hood, the wolfs are out.

The Play: Go to the Salvation Army buy a baseball bat and some furniture, put the album on and tear it up.

iTunes Action: Leave out "Same Ghost..." and "Fancy Claps" download the rest and start the binge drinking.
