"Wolf Parade is like a retarded dog with four heads. At any given time, three of the heads are sleeping." Wolf Parade's Dan Boeckner in the Montreal Mirror.

Wolf Parade is from Montreal; they've been together a little over two years now. Montreal, if you hadn't already noticed, is the latest city to be made collectively nauseous with media attention, having been anointed (with articles in The New York Times and SPIN, amongst others) as the "most influential scene in American music." And, with such exports as Potion 13 and Soul Haven, it's little wonder. All that hullabaloo aside, Wolf Parade is the genuine article and they were brought to our attention by Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock (whose interest dates back to Dan's previous band, Atlas Strategic). In fact, Isaac, along with engineer Chris Chandler, recorded much of Apologies to the Queen Mary at Audible Alchemy in Portland, OR. The album is an entirely collaborative effort, reeling headlong and breathless through songs written throughout Wolf Parade's time together as a band. They've spent time on tour with Modest Mouse and The Arcade Fire, played last year's All Tomorrow's Parties festival in California, self-released two limited ed. EPs, and have a song (a cover of Frog Eyes' Claxxon's Lament) on The Believer magazine's recent covers comp. And then there's this little thing: Time magazine (albeit their Canadian edition) picked Wolf Parade as one of "Canada's Most Anticipated Indie Albums of the Year." Expect to see and hear much more from them.

Man i'm loving the new album so much, its really different to the first one (which i also adore naturally). Its like that fourheaded dog loaded up a camper van full of peyote and thundered off into a haunted desert landscape, cursing the lightning and shouting songs to the wind while the post-apocalyptic "modern world" crumbles all around. well thats what its like to me anyhoo... so when is Mr Boeckner making another handsome furs album or Mr Krug a sunset rubdown album. My fix will only remain sated for so long...

merci, c'est drôlement chic, je vais bien me la péter sur ma page, j'vais même virer tous mes autres amis, tellement que je suis bien content.. (Les femmes c'est du chinois, cela ne sert à rien de s'éparpiller, de courir, de battre des ailes, taper des mains des pieds, les femmes c'est du chinois, vous dit)
