The most famous indie rock outfit from Montreal not named Arcade Fire is back. Wolf Parade revealed the name (EXPO 86) and cover art (above) of their forthcoming third album a few weeks ago, and earlier today Sub Pop, who released each of their previous LPs, announced the new album’s street date (June 29) and posted two new songs from it on the web. The two tracks, “What Did My Lover Say” and “Ghost Pressure,” can both be downloaded below.
Lest I offend Spencer Krug fans with my oversimplified, Arcade Fire-referencing first line, I must point out that with this release we’re going on 5 consecutive years of new LPs from either Wolf Parade, or Krug’s other group Sunset Rubdown, who released last year’s criminally underrated Dragonslayer, with no decline in quality in sight. In fact, these two new tracks suggest this may be the best Wolf Parade album to date.
