    If Wolf Parade have spent six years wondering how they can sing about anything at all, it seems as though they’re still wondering. Just this time the quartet turned the mic on as they pondered.

    Their fourth album’s trembling vocals address mortality, heartbreak, collapse, resilience, different extremities of weather, running to someone and leaving the city at night. Such earnestness is offset nicely by jaunty synthesizer sounds and admirably expressive drum work. It remains unfortunate that Wolf Parade have never reached the fascinating twitchiness of their heroes Modest Mouse.

Cry Cry Cry has all the aspects of what Wolf Parade has ever been. Every member shine through the whole album and i hardly find some weak place. Maybe is not as good as Apologies To The Queen Mary, but is very close to it. Production is sophisticated and you will enjoy all of the songs. This is a serious contender for Best Indie Rock Album of the Year along with The National´s Sleep Well Beast and Brand New´s Science Fiction.

I wasn't sure if Wolf Parade would ever be back but holy hell are they back. It grips you from the beginning and doesn't let go, by the time the album ends you'll need a deep breath. I've had Baby Blue stuck in my head all night.… Full Review »
