Wolf Parade: At Mount Zoomer

From Speed of Dark, Posted June, 26th 2008

Poster by Spencer?s sister, Zoë Krug SatherIndie Mom said to me last weekend, "I've been listening to the new Wolf Parade album (At Mount Zoomer), and I just....don't...like it. Maybe I need more time with it." Of the two of us, she has been much more a fan of that album than I am, although I like several of the songs on it very much. Apologies also had more songs--12--than At Mount Zoomer's 9 tracks, so there...

Monkey Swallows the Universe - "Jimmy Down the Well"

From Cable and Tweed, Posted June, 26th 2008

Matthew from Song, By Toad turned me on to Monkey Swallows the Universe some time ago, and this week I can't get them out of the rotation. "Jimmy Down the Well" in particular has demanded repeated plays. It's melodic and memorable, much like the rest of the album, but has a certain something that I can't resist.

Wolf Parade - "At Mount Zoomer" Analysis

From Its Hard to Find a Friend, Posted June, 26th 2008

I bought Wolf Parade's debut LP Apologies to the Queen Mary on a whim on New Year's Eve 2005, a few months after it was released. That would turn out to be my favorite musical purchase of the year, as narrowly as it slipped in there, and I've been waiting for the follow up ever since. After three years of side projects, it's finally here, I've finally spent some time with it, and I can finally say it's one of...
