The next Wolf Parade CD will have trouble topping this. I haven't heard a record this integrated in a long while. Singling out a song feels like isolating a chorus or a verse. It lacks context. Random Spirit Lover progresses in movements; themes repeat, lyrical imagery returns. (certainly Spencer Krug's nagging worry over whether he's using too many violins is front and centre) It's so nice, in this mp3ed world, to hear a band thinking outside an ipod shuffle.
That said, I'm going to post a single mp3 here. This song seems to stand well enough on it's own.
"Winged/Wicked Things" Sunset Rubdown (mp3)
Buy Random Spirit Lover (amazon) (itunes)
