New Music – Wolf Parade – Valley Boy
A taster for the new Wolf Parade Album, which is released next week, on the 6th of October. It should be a lot of fun!
“Are you still a lover boy?
Are you still on the cover or
Did you become a valley boy out there?”
The soaring choruses, rousing anthems, sprawling guitars and chaotic keys that make up Wolf Parade are on proud display over the course of Cry Cry Cry, the band’s thunderous first album in seven years.
That unique combination of sounds and influences, spearheaded by electric co-frontmen Spencer Krug and Dan Boeckner—a complex yet relatable, energetic brew of glam, prog, synth-rock, and satisfying discomfort—helped define 2000s indie rock with three critically celebrated albums, and propelled a growing Wolf Parade fandom even after the band went on a then-indefinite hiatus in 2010.

Pretty excited about this one! I wasn’t immediately taken by this single, but after hearing it a few times I really loved it. “You’re Dreaming” got me a bit more quickly.
Yes, it just arrived on my inbox! First impressions are positive. It’s good to have them back, hard to believe it’s 7 years!
