Editorial Review:
Album Description: This four-song EP is a taste of their debut full-length, "Apologies To The Queen Mary", slated for an October 2005 release. Montreal's foursome have opened for Arcade Fire and Modest Mouse, they've been name-checked in the New York Times, and their photo graced the first page of a Spin magazine piece on Montreal. The first two songs will appear on their debut, while the second two are non-LP tracks exclusive to this EP.

I had heard they were hard rock, even heard them compared to Black Sabbath, but they are not. So I was disappointed. Lots of synth if you like that.

Pretty much every year for the past five (and more, really), there's been at least one band hailing from Canada that has cracked through the consciousness of the indie rock world and made a huge name for themselves. Two years ago was Broken Social Scene and last year was The Arcade Fire, and if Wolf Parade can parlay the songcraft they show on this four song EP into an equally interesting full length to be released later this year, they might very well be the newest Canucks on everyone's tongue.
One of the most strange things about the group is how they manage to snag little bits of different musical styles (and even individual groups themselves) and pull them together into a short batch of songs that sound both familiar and new ... Read More:

One of the more popular indie bands to emerge this year is Sub Pop's Wolf Parade. I heard rumblings about this band months before the "Wolf Parade" EP came out, allowing me to hear this energetic new fuzz-pop band.
It's certinly a good introduction for anyone who might be uncertain about this bands sound, letting them hear plenty of bang for their buck. And it's a good sound -- new wave synths laid over psychedelic fuzz, all dancey and most quite good.
It opens on a rather ordinary note, with a standard dancepunk vibe that quickly blossoms into a transcendant pop melody -- that's "Shine A Light." It's quickly followed by the bizarre "You Are A Runner, And I Am My Father's Son," an artier and less catchy song, made up ... Read More:

It's rare to fine a concept in music set up in an EP. My concept of an EP is an introduction tro music that we don't know about. Arcade Fire did it. Brooklyn bands TV On The Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Liars have done it before. If only The Hold Steady has done it and I can get into them a lot sooner. Also, even for a CD like this, an EP can be made only because those listening to underground music may not stand their music, so they are introducing their music and seeing what you think. THEN they plan to release a full length, at the non-fans expense. In fact, from what I have heard, many may thank the fact that EPs were made.
I listened to this album, and it was obvious that this band wasn't going to please everyone, as well as Interpol ... Read More:
