Hell yes. Wolf Parade’s follow up to 2005’s Apologies To The Queen Mary has arrived early. Only days after officially changing the title of the album from Kissing The Beehive to the supercool-sounding, At Mount Zoomer, the wait has ended.
AND LET ME TELL YOU. It was worth the wait.
Every song on here is an instant catch. The guys follow roughly the same structure as Apologies, with Spencer and Dan alternating about every other track on vocals. With both of their side projects fully established now, you get the sense that these guys have something to prove to each other. The album feels sorta like an intense competition for best song, and man, does it make for one great album There’s no spacey, drawn out “Same Ghost Every Night” or “Dinner Bells” here. Every song is concise and fully realized. Imagine if you will a 9-track album of songs like “Shine A Light” and “I’ll Believe In Anything.” The song writing is more polished and everyone sounds a lot more confident. Though Isaac Brock is absent from production this time around, the signature clash of whizzing keyboards and strong guitars is still there. I can’t say enough about this album. It literally took me an hour to decide which tracks to post here because every single one is amazing.
Believe me when I say, Wolf Parade have returned.
