Is Wolf Parade Isaac Brock's Greatest Discovery? Apologies to the Queen Mary Review

Author: The Dude and Grimm Show October 3, 2023 Duration: 41:54

Isaac Brock, the visionary frontman of Modest Mouse, embarked on a musical journey that would forever alter the indie rock landscape when he stumbled upon a hidden gem in the vibrant music scene of the early 2000s. While navigating the musical terrain of his hometown, Seattle, he chanced upon a captivating performance by a relatively unknown band called Wolf Parade. Enchanted by their raw energy, poetic lyricism, and genre-blurring sound, Brock saw in Wolf Parade a kindred spirit. His discovery of this Canadian indie rock outfit proved to be serendipitous, as he immediately recognized their potential and signed them to his label, Glacial Pace Recordings. In doing so, Brock not only introduced the world to Wolf Parade's distinctive sonic universe but also cemented his reputation as a curator of groundbreaking talent, forever changing the course of indie rock history. 0:00 Wolf Parade Apologies to the Queen Mary Review 14:55 You are a Runner and I am My Father's Son 17:55 Modern World 19:30 Grounds for Divorce 21:05 We Built Another World 22:15 Fancy Claps 25:40 Same Ghost Every Night 27:35 Shine a Light 29:35 Dear Songs and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts 30:55 I'll Believe in Anything 32:25 It's a Curse 34:40 Dinner Bells 35:40 This Heart's on Fire 37:50 Grimm's Scratch 39:10 Dude's Scratch #indiemusic #isaacbrock #wolfparade


Ever find yourself listening to a classic album and thinking, just for a second, that one song doesn't quite hold up? That's the exact feeling Scratch a Track: Music Review and Commentary Podcast leans into every week. Hosted by The Dude and Grimm Show, this isn't just a standard review format. They dig into albums from any era, weaving together the history of the band and the story behind the record itself. The conversation is where this podcast really finds its groove, blending personal anecdotes with a genuine appreciation for musical craft. Then comes the fun part: after all that discussion and context, they play a game born from a very specific nostalgia. Remember when a scratched CD or vinyl record would tragically ruin a single track? They apply that concept deliberately, debating and ultimately choosing one song from the album they'd hypothetically scratch off forever. It's a surprisingly tough and entertaining exercise that makes you reconsider how you listen to entire albums. You'll hear passionate debates, learn some fascinating backstories, and probably argue with your speakers over their final choice. Join The Dude and Grimm for a deep, engaging, and often humorous look at the music we love, and the occasional song we might love a little less.
