    At Mount Zoomer A Little Early

    Posted on May 4, 2008 | 1 Comment

    Hell yes. Wolf Parade's follow up to 2005's Apologies To The Queen Mary has arrived early. Only days after officially changing the title of the album from Kissing The Beehive to the supercool-sounding, At Mount Zoomer, the wait has ended. AND LET ME TELL YOU. It was worth the wait.

    Australia's Cut Copy are about to get the respect they deserve in the states and it's about time. Their new album, In Ghost Colours, arrived down-under last month and made it to the top of the Aussie charts in less than a week. The U.S. gets an official release this Tuesday, but of course it's already more than available onthe net. If you've never heard, think Apples In Stereo
