Expo 86

VINYL FORMAT. Recorded and mixed at Hotel2Tango, with Howard Bilerman, in late February and early March of 2010, Expo 86 is the name of the third album by Montreal's Wolf Parade. Expo 86 follows the band's 2008 album At Mount Zoomer, which itself followed their 2005 debut, Apologies to the Queen Mary.

"Hype certainly didn't sink Wolf Parade's debut, Apologies to the Queen Mary, and after 2008's At Mount Zoomer, as well as countless prominent side projects from Wolf Parade members (including the Handsome Furs and Sunset Rubdown), the Montreal band has proven to be more than a simple Isaac Brock find. Expo 86 is named after the world's fair in Vancouver, and the album was mostly recorded live in studio, and while it will maintain the band's self-described 'maximalist' sound, Dan Boeckner told Pitchfork the album will have more upbeat songs than Wolf Parade's earlier releases." - Ethan Stanislawski / Prefixmag.com
