Free Music Notes for Apologies to the Queen Mary
Free Music Review: Enjoyable, quirky indie rock
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a pretty solid album and "Shine a Light" & "We Built Another World" & "Fancy Claps" are really great songs. There are two alternating lead singers which are both good. They are talented musicians and seem to have a lot of interesting ideas musically, & have a likeable quirkiness to them.
I actually came to amazon looking for a follow up disc from Wolf Parade, hopefully there will be one soon!
Apologies to the Queen Mary Poster
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 McGonigalThis 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.
Japanese pressing of 2005 album adds 2 bonus tracks 'Disco Sheets' & 'Modern World'. 14 tracks. P-Vine.
