Topic: Wolf Parade
Wolf Parade is one of those bands that shouldn't need an introduction. They've released a fantastic album, Apologies To The Queen Mary. They've toured with the Arcade Fire. They're from Montreal; everyone knows that Canadian citizenship automatically invests a band with five extra points of indie cred. In some alternate universe, kids are walking around their high schools proudly wearing Wolf Parade t-shirts and calling themselves as Lycanthropozz and Lycanthropettezz. This is the same alternate universe in which Stephin Merritt is widely recognized as the Messiah.
Wolf Parade is comprised of
Dan Boeckner,
Spencer Krug,
Hadji Bakara, and Arlen Thompson, and they think you should listen to their music.
In particular, they (as well as I) think you should listen to I'll Believe In Anything and Dear Sons And Daughters of Hungry Ghosts.
It's impossible to resist singing along:
Well I've got a hand
So I've got a fist
So I've got a plan
It's the best that I can do.
Now we say we're using god's hands
But god doesn't always have the best goddamn plans, does he?
La la la la la la.
