Wolf Parade announces tour, re-names new album :: Music News :: Articles

Recently, we told you that Wolf Parade will grace will help commemorate Sub Pop Records’ “celebration of 20 years of not going out of business.” Well, the lupine-monikered band is not all about celebrating others’ success—it rightfully deserves its own commemoration. That’s why Wolf Parade has announced a summer tour that will take it through the United States and Canada.

Why celebrate? Because the sequel to the band’s stunning debut, Apologies to the Queen Mary, is on the horizon and will dock (sorry) June 17. What’s more, yesterday, Pitchfork revealed that the record formally known as Kissing the Beehive has a new name: At Mount Zoomer.
