The home of music journalist Nicholas Jennings, author of Lightfoot, the definitive new Gordon Lightfoot biography from Penguin Random House.
Wolf Parade - Kissing the Beehive
Recorded in the Montreal church owned by Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade’s sophomore release finds the shaggy quartet worshipping at the altar of experimentalism. Few of the album’s nine numbers bear resemblance to anything on Apologies to the Queen Mary, its shambolic predecessor. Songs like the cinematic “Fine Young Cannibals,” the Eastern-tinged “An Animal in Your Care” and the epic title track are tightly crafted works that have been polished into shiny improvisational gems. A brave, ambitious step forward.
