WOLF PARADE - At Mount Zoomer

wolf%20parade-at%20mount%20zoomer.jpgLike the Constantines' newest, keyboards gain added prominence here, with lead synth lines lending many tracks a somewhat more new-wavey sensibility than on the band's earlier releases. As long as Beck and Gary Numan don't decide to team up anytime soon, Boeckner/Krug will continue to have a unique push and pull at play, and while no particular songs are jumping out at this listener just yet, At Mount Zoomer has strong slow-grower potential. (Actually, hold that thought--"Kissing The Beehive"'s 9-beat riffing, vocal tradeoffs and modestly mousy disco-stomp breakdown's an epic last cut worth skipping to!)
