4.0 out of 5 stars Wolfy baby, 24 Nov 2005
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
One of the more popular indie bands to emerge this year is Sub Pop's Wolf Parade. I heard rumblings about this band months before the "Wolf Parade" EP came out, allowing me to hear this energetic new fuzz-pop band.

It's certinly a good introduction for anyone who might be uncertain about this bands sound, letting them hear plenty of bang for their buck. And it's a good sound -- new wave synths laid over psychedelic fuzz, all dancey and most quite good.

It opens on a rather ordinary note, with a standard dancepunk vibe that quickly blossoms into a transcendant pop melody -- that's "Shine A Light." It's quickly followed by the bizarre "You Are A Runner, And I Am My Father's Son," an artier and less catchy song, made up of staccato bursts of percussion and synth, before sliding into chaos, then static. Wow.

"Disco Sheets" is a more fun song -- very new wave-retro, energetic and dancey, heavy on the synth and the handclaps. And finally the EP rounds off with another expansive fuzz song, bursting with exotic riffs and surreal dancepunk. Takes guts to do that kind of thing.

At first listen, "Wolf Parade" sounds a bit messy. The instrumentation doesn't instantly mesh together, so it sounds like it was just thrown together with whatever sounded cool. But listen to it again, and even a third time. Then those elusive melodies and intertwined instrumentals will start to emerge.

This EP displays what they can (and can't) do -- they excel at the messy fuzzpop, but the synthy dance sound should be avoided. It isn't bad, but it isn't great either. They are at their best when combining the fuzz guitar, almost invisible bass, and shimmering synths into one big mishmash, topped by vocals that I really can't decipher.

Imagine Modest Mouse doing dance music, or Franz Ferdinand trying the arty route. That's a description of the debut EP of Wolf Parade, giving listeners a taste of their debut album.
