The way I see it, Spencer Krug is like Pete Doherty to Dan Boeckner's Carl Barat. Except not a junky and massively more consistent as a songwriter, so really, that's a pretty shit analogy. Still, I await Boeckner's side-project's album WITH INTEREST. Oh, and Hungry Ghosts > I'll Believe In Anything.
Pretty fucking good.
One of their best.
Fancy Claps just pips it for me though.
I second
Fancy Claps
i still think
i'll believe in anything, is their best.
^this
i really want to see them live :(
They're OK.
i think sunset rubdown are better
than wolf parade. i want to see both live really.

I thought they were absolutely superb live
I can't wait to see them again. The general consensus after the Barfly show in 2005 was that they were fantastic:

Krug is vastly superior
his main three bands (wolf arade, sunset rubdown, frog eyes) are all totally amazing.

plus, the first five songs on 'apologies..' plus 'it's a curse' are better.
such an amazing band though. i can't wait until they tour again.
