Apologies To The Queen Mary - Vinyle Rose Transparent

Description

Sub Pop and Wolf Parade are releasing a new pink vinyl edition of their landmark album *Apologies to the Queen Mary*. This long-out-of-print reissue returns to the album's original LP format, just after the 2025 broadcast of the television series *Heated Rivalry*. This series introduced a vast audience to the album's single "I'll Believe in Anything," turning it into a true viral hit. Wolf Parade was founded in 2003 in Montreal, Quebec. After two eponymous EPs, the band, composed of Hadji Bakara (electronic manipulations), Dan Boeckner (guitar, vocals), Spencer Krug (keyboards, vocals), and Arlen Thompson (drums), released *Apologies to the Queen Mary* in September 2005 to widespread critical acclaim. The album was recorded by Isaac Brock, Modest Mouse's frontman, and engineer Chris Chandler at Audible Alchemy studio in Portland, Oregon. *Apologies to the Queen Mary* resonates with a communicative energy on tracks composed during Wolf Parade's early years. Its infectious rhythm and overflowing energy immediately propelled the band to the forefront of the 2000s indie-rock scene. Nominated in 2006 for Canada's prestigious Polaris Music Prize, the album was hailed by The Guardian as "absolutely gorgeous." Pitchfork awarded it a 9.2 rating, stating that "Wolf Parade's true genius lies in its ability to transform the mundane into something novel," and subsequently joined the chorus of critics ranking it among the best albums of the 2000s. Twenty years later, *Apologies to the Queen Mary* retains all its vitality and continues to attract new generations of fans.
