We Are Wolves

Long-running Montreal band We are Wolves are set to release their fifth album, Wrong, on September 30 via Fantôme Records. The band have always been an intriguing mix of influences, with a gothy, distinctly Franco-Canadian image that belies the band’s ability to deliver dance grooves and big poppy hooks…when they’re not making atmospheric, widescreen mood pieces. The new album has all that, including single strut-able single “I Don’t Mind.” You can check out the whole thing — a stream premieres in this post.

We Are Wolves are currently on tour in Canada (nothing below the border, sadly). All dates are listed below. - Brooklyn Vegan

We Are Wolves… around since the tidal wave of electro/art/dance/punk broke at the beginning of the year 2000s, they’re the only ones left standing. The wolves are still on the prowl. With their new album WRONG, available from 30th September on the enigmatic Montreal label Fantôme Records – rebellious younger brother of Simone Records – We Are Wolves have wiped the slate clean and have gone hunting for some new musical prey.

WRONG. One word: short, sharp and cuts right to the chase – that nonetheless arouses a certain perplexed curiosity. With their fifth album, the band unashamedly shows off its pop side, that until now we’ve had little more than a whiff of. In June, WAW gave us a taste of things to come with two mouth-watering singles Wicked Games and I Don’t Mind.

Recorded in New York, France and Montreal, WRONG sees the trio – bassist and vocalist Alexander Ortiz, keyboardist Vincent Levesque and percussionist Pierre-Luc Bégin – show off their penchant for the edgy pop of bands like Depeche Mode, New Order, Ultravox and The Cure, without losing the bite that has defined their sound.

They’re just off to Germany to perform at Reeerbahn Festival among other Deutschland shows.

Here at IAI, we are privileged to be sharing the single 'I Don't Mind', which is a UK exclusive. - It's All Indie
