Wolf Parader Dan Boeckner and wife Alexei Perry’s follow-up to 2007′s Plague Park is soaked in New Order-style 80′s pop, along with a healthy dose of guitar and Boeckner’s distinctively swaggering vocal style, it’s hookier and more immediately enjoyable than his Wolf Parade work and far more memorable and impressive than Plague Park but it’s style of synths and drum machines certainly isn’t going to be anything you haven’t heard before.

Wolf Parade’s sophomore album is a more mature affair than their first effort, expanding on the big and dire sound of their debut while Spencer Krug and Dan Boeckner’s superb songwriting only continues to get better – despite their stubborn refusal to write another catchy, “I’ll Believe in Anything”-style hit.
