Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse, Wolf Parade's debut is a frantic, joyful clash of styles. Songwriters Dan Boeckner and Spencer Krug trade off lead vocals, creating a dynamic tension between Bowie-esque swagger and yelping indie rock. It is a high-energy classic of the Canadian indie boom.
