Expo 86

Wolf Parade

A high-voltage collision of jagged synthesizers and propulsive percussion. Dueling vocals deliver urgent, existential anthems for the restless and the sleep-deprived.

It's like a shot of espresso for your existential dread, played through a stack of vintage synths.

A relentless, high-voltage surge of nervous energy and anthemic defiance.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the explosive drum fill that launches the opening track into a frantic synth-driven sprint
the desperate, soaring vocal trade-off during the climax of What Did My Lover Say
the way the guitar melody in Yulia mimics the lonely signal of a Soviet satellite
