Wolf Parade Gets Crashy

You see that little sign, that little guy is holding right there? Think about it for a second, I’m sure we are all guilty of it, especially in this bitter little hipster world we wrap ourselves around, but the first thing out of our mouths would most likely be a complaint. I am often very guilty of the complaining, just my most recent post before this one was me being kind of bitchy about Pitchfork’s scoring of the new My Morning Jacket album, so for today at least I’m going to suspend the complaints and do my best to sort of make amends with my warped little mind.

Today we have Wolf Parade, now everything about this band would make me want to hate them in normal circumstances, too many synths, too few original melodies, an affinity to sound too much like an 80’s band a la The Cars, and a lastly a song about “Modern” Life. The whole “Modern” thing has been done to death esspecially lately, Bloc Party, Futerheadsd, etc. are all about making observations on our “modern” world. Well Bowie did it back in 1983 with Modern Love, a song about “Modern” this or that really isn’t that “modern”. Anyway I find myself enjoying one of their tracks in particular, “I’ll Believe in Anything” from the snapping snare in the begining to the lazy melodic guitar, this one has you hooked from the start. Then the chorus hits, “I’ll believe (CRASH) in anything (CRASH)/you believe (CRASH) in anything (CRASH)” that cymbal does it for me, such a great crashing sound. Probably one of my favorite tracks I heard all year, see and I didn’t even complain once.
