CD Description
The enigmatic and always-erudite Wolf Parade (who count among their songwriting ranks Spencer Krug of Sunset Rubdown and Frog Eyes, and Dan Boeckner of Handsome Furs) release their second full-length, 'At Mount Zoomer' to great anticipation. After the woozy folk anarchy of their debut (2006's 'Apologies To The Queen Mary'), this is the sound of a band pushing the envelope, exploring newer, more progressive sounds than before. The band jammed in isolation for many months before actually recording anything, lending the record a definite sense of assuredness and accomplished glee.

Customer Reviews

Wolf Parade- At Mount Zoomer
There is no doubt that Wolf Paradee haver progressed rapidly from there first album, apologies to queen mary which sounded excellent but very similar too a modest mouse tribute band. Here they have found there own, unique sound which is still indie rock/alternative but has alot more depth, with tracks like kissing the beehive (one of the best tracks) over 10 mins long. The entire album has alot more substance to it,with the feel that they havnt just generated the tracks just to get into the 'indie pop' market like some bands do these days (think pigion detectives...)but have developed an entirely alternative but still an indie rock sound
It sounds slightly like if Led Zep met The Arcade Fire, with psychodelic rock but at the same time alternative beats; all i can say is that if you like alternative indie rock music them im in no doubt that you will think that Wolf Parade have a great deal of talent and that they deserve to be more recognised than they are.
If you like bands like Black Keys, Arcade Fire, Black Mountain, Rogue Wave then i would suggest you should give this album a listen as though its very different from the previous bands that are mentioned, its still got that unique indie sound

Such a damn good album
This is really great stuff, straight off the bat. The opening two tracks lock you in - familiar but fresh, rocking but thoughtful - this is real soundtrack to your life stuff. Like the Cars crossed with OK Go. California Dreamer is a classic. Deserve to be huge, which, of course, they won't be - they're too good for that.
