New Music: Wolf Parade - California Dreamer

Looks like we have obtained another new Wolf Parade track, doesn't it? This one, "California Dreamer," originally called "Stevie" when played live, sounds like a poppy Sunset Rubdown cut. It doesn't seem too changed from the live version, although I can't be sure, I haven't listened to that one in a while. Blah blah Wolf Parade Krug, you know the drill, just listen to the song.

PS: I think it skips in the middle...but who the hell cares?

False Alarm!...maybe?

According to a source close to Wolf Parade guitarist Dan Boeckner, the new album is not actually going to be titled "Kissing the Beehive." Boeckner claims that he fed Pitchfork this title "to fuck with them," and that the record doesn't actually have a title as of yet. Further, the "old" new Wolf Parade songs (eg. "Things I Don't Know") will be released eventually via EPs or something of the sort. The release date for the is still June 17th though, so hopefully we will see a press release from Sub-Pop very soon.

NEW WOLF PARADE WAAA?

The following statement was released this evening on wolfparade.nonstuff.com:

"After many months of speculation and anticipation about the new Wolf Parade record, we’ve finally been given some news from a very reliable source. The source states the following: The record is done and will be officially released in June. It will have 9 songs, some short and some long. Everyone in the band is really happy with it and they will start touring in July. A press release from Subpop is due out very soon with the full track list and title."

OMG! I'm so excited that all the rumors that I had been hearing are real! I can't wait until June, but hey, at least it's not that far off, and at least it's finally confirmed. This will tide you over, in the meantime:
