Apologies to the Queen Mary

Wolf Parade

A high-voltage collision of jittery synthesizers and dueling vocals. It sounds like a 2 AM epiphany captured in a crowded, sweat-soaked basement.

It's the best indie rock album of 2005 that isn't by Arcade Fire.

A frantic, celebratory explosion of nervous energy and melodic catharsis.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive, crashing drum entry and synth swell on I'll Believe in Anything
The frantic, overlapping vocal delivery during the climax of This Heart's on Fire
The slow, atmospheric build of Dinner Bells that stretches into a sprawling epic
The jagged, staccato keyboard riff that opens Modern World
