Wolf Parade
At Mount Zoomer
Sup Pop
June 17, 2008
This is a good example of a good alternative indie rock album, with great sounding guitar and some good hooks. Recorded in a church in Montreal owned by the Arcade Fire, it’s pretty impossible for Wolf Parade to make their sophomore album anything below interesting at least, and they’ve totally succeeded, creating some great textures and Arcade Fire-esque melodies on the piano and vocals. It's a nice sounding record – something I predicted, seeing as the band are on Sub Pop, who always seem to give us some interesting music – ($) and the fact that Wolf Parade have taken a while to make something new and cool really shows through. Key tracks like "Bang Your Drum" and "Soldier’s Grin" have great melody and rhythm, and are seriously nice to listen to with the window open, the sun coming in, making plans for summer and looking at old Polaroids. - TotalTrash
