Music reviews of Apologies to the Queen Mary
Music Review: NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH......
Rating: 5 Stars
Oh man. I was talking up this band at a party a week or so ago, and it occured to me just now that I was calling them Wolf-mother. Oh man, man. I hope that whoever I was talking to realizes my mistake...
Wolf PARADE is the band that I was speaking of. This album in particular, which I bought myself on a tip about a year or so ago. While the band is undoubtedly 21st century rock, with certain electro pop numbers like MODERN WORLD and the occasional goth slash emo slash men can be sensitive too vibe that floods most of the rock and roll scene these days (Offended? Text me.) there is still a very solid hard rock vibe throughout. (Like, the kind that could totally bitch-slap Nickleback and Linkin Park...)
Whats good about Wolf Parade is that they manage to create an album, where one song doesn't equal the entire bands output. There is a degree in variation between one song and the next... YET the album makes a point in keeping the album in flow. While the vocals may get on the wrong side of the razor blade from time to time, the band rocks out, and actually has a few feel good tunes, and once in a while even a sense of humor... plus most of the songs have some nice and punchy drums. Not studio produced sound effects. My fave songs are the opening track, YOU ARE A RUNNER,,, and SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF HUNGRY GHOSTS...
Description of Apologies to the Queen Mary
This Montreal band has toured with the likes of Modest Mouse and The Arcade Fire, they played last year's All Tomorrow's Parties festival in California, self-released two limited edition EPs, and have a song (a cover of Frog Eyes' "Claxxon's Lament") on The Believer magazine's recent covers comp. Time magazine picked "Apologies..." as one of "Canada's Most Anticipated Indie Albums Of The Year". Expect to see and hear much more from Wolf Parade.On first listen, Wolf Parade is just another Canadian buzz band that plays fun, keyboard-heavy, new wave-y indie-rock and sings in weird, affected, high-pitched tones. Upon further listening, the songs reveal a lot of strange and fuzzy little details, and the lyrics have more depth than most bands do on their debuts. The Montreal-based group was brought to the Seattle-based Sub Pop label's attention by none other than Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock, modern rock radio's king of affected vocalizings. Brock even recorded much of the album in Portland, OR. The vocalist has more than a passing affinity for David Bowie, and if you love the Arcade Fire and Frog Eyes, you probably are already a fan. Apologies is a very fun debut; the studied strangeness of the singing grates less over time, and it'll be really interesting to see what they come up with next. -Mike McGonigal
