i been here so long my heart is a parking lot



Wavves - Weed Demon
white wave/white stains/weed cave/weed saves

succinct and to the point. just plain ol' strumming of the guitar plus drawn out voices that sing about weed.

Slaraffenland - Stars and Smiles
It's like a parade song, with a huge band playing and marching to it. A little acapella incorporated as well.

Wolf Parade - Language City

Wolf Parade - Shine A Light
Wolf Parade has been around since 2003, hailing from Montreal, Quebec. They comprise Dan Boeckner (vocals, guitar), Spencer Krug (vocals, keyboards), Arlen Thompson (drums), Dante DeCaro (guitar, bass, percussion) and Hadji Bakara (sound manipulation, keyboards). Notably, Dan Boeckner is the other half of Handsome Furs, the husband and wife duo, while Spencer Krug is part of Swan Lake and Sunset Rubdown. Quite tough huh, them juggling other outfits and all. But it's pretty much an outlet from their different music, where certain sounds do not fit in with the band's direction.

I like it how their songs don't sound polished, the noise and the roughness to their songs contribute to the core of the songs.
