Re: Wolf Parade - \"It\'s a Curse\"

Like most others, I heard the hype of Wolf Parade's Apologies to the Queen Mary. Before I'd even pushed play, I'd heard all about how the band's good friends with the guys of Arcade Fire, how Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse had produced much of the album, how it's one of the best releases of 2005, and how if you don't like the album you're a [censored]. I'm here to tell you if you don't like the album you're a [censored].

When I first heard "It's a Curse" my initial reaction was "Arcade Fire meets Lonesome Crowded West." My second reaction was "no [censored]." My third reaction was "this is pretty good."

So, download Wolf Parade's, "It's a Curse." It's pretty good.

The Eames Era - \"Talk Talk\"
 

I had the pleasure of seeing the Eames Era in a smoky bar/café about a mile from my apartment. They played after a band so boring that the chick next to me whipped out a PSP (and made about four guys instantly fall in love with her in the process). When the Eames Era took the stage, you can be assured the PSP was promptly put away.

Lead singer Ashlin Phillips is the star of the band, as is the case on most girl-fronted bands. The comparison everyone immediately thinks of is Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis, and it's a close match both vocally and aesthetically. I had the pleasure of briefly meeting Ashlin. She's charmingly average: her hair's a faded red, her eyes are a little too far apart, and her body has no curves to speak of whatsoever. She's the most beautiful girl in the world. From the moment she got on stage (and adorably squeaked when the mic gave feedback) until the last note of the set, she commanded all attention.

Canadian pop supergroup The New Pornographers released their third and best album, Twin Cinema, this year. For those who don't know, the New Pornographers are lead by a trio of vocalists: Carl "A.C." Newman, "Destroyer" Dan Bejar, and alt-country songstress Neko Case. All three have successful solo careers, but it's together that they really shine. Newman spearheads the project, composing the music, writing the lyrics, and singing much of the music.

Much of Twin Cinema and their previous works are simply straight-up pop, employing infectious hooks and catchy choruses. And honestly, who can't love a band named The New Pornographers? One listen will have you bobbing your head and squeaking "sing me spanish techno" in your highest-pitched voice. In the privacy of your on room, of course.
