The band went on indefinite hiatus in 2011, but announced its return to recording and performing in January 2016. Wolf Parade was formed when Spencer Krug (also Sunset Rubdown, Frog Eyes, Moonface and Swan Lake) was offered a gig supporting Arcade Fire. He called Dan Boeckner (formerly of notable B.C. band Atlas Strategic, now also part of Handsome Furs) and they wrote songs with a drum machine before calling Arlen Thompson to play drums. Hadji Bakara joined in 2004. Dante DeCaro (formerly of Hot Hot Heat and currently of Johnny and the Moon) joined in Summer 2005 as second guitarist and percussionist. Though expected to perform again, the band announced their indefinite hiatus on November 27, 2010 and was acknowledged as having ended as a group on August 30, 2012 in an interview with Spoon front-man Britt Daniel.
Wolf Parade released their eponymous debut EP in 2003 with only Spencer, Dan and Arlen performing on it. After Hadji joined the group, they released another independent, self-titled EP in 2004. They were signed to Sub Pop by Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse and released their first widely-distributed record, Wolf Parade EP. In September 2005 their debut album Apologies to the Queen Mary was released.
Apologies to the Queen Mary was given this name because, as in rock and roll tradition, Wolf Parade trashed the Queen Mary hotel. It was said that they trashed the hotel worse than any band before them.
Their second album, At Mount Zoomer, was released June 17, 2008, and third, Expo 86 on July 5, 2010. On November 29th 2010 Wolf Parade called an indefinite hiatus.
The haitus ended when the band released Cry Cry Cry on Oct 6, 2017.

Forest Green
Wolf Parade Lyrics
Here in Forest Green
Everyone knows that the life is so serene
And what's not to love
Under the sky and the shining stars above
Stars above
A subterranean life
I don't get out, don't see much daylight
I guess the air is sweet
Familiar ghosts come and haunt me in my sleep
In my sleep
But I
Only stay here for survival
Every day is like the one before, it seems
On Forest Green, the lights go dim
The awful night was creeping in again
In again
It's something that you've known since birth
You understand this place is cursed
It is cursed
And it feels like home
It's in the landlord's smile
The satisfied gaze of the rank and file
We got the sea and the sand
We got colonial days on stolen, stolen land
Stolen land
Farewell to Forest Green
No more oasis in the Anthropocene
Only flat black glass
Under the waves and gone at, gone at last
Gone at last
And only stay here for survival
Always room for new arrivals on the scene
In Forest Green, the lights go dim
The awful night was creeping in again
In again
It's something that you've known since birth
You understand this place is cursed
It is cursed
But it feels like home
Feels like home
And I can't stay long
Everyone knows that the life is so serene
And what's not to love
Under the sky and the shining stars above
Stars above
A subterranean life
I don't get out, don't see much daylight
I guess the air is sweet
Familiar ghosts come and haunt me in my sleep
But I
Only stay here for survival
Every day is like the one before, it seems
On Forest Green, the lights go dim
The awful night was creeping in again
In again
It's something that you've known since birth
You understand this place is cursed
It is cursed
And it feels like home
It's in the landlord's smile
The satisfied gaze of the rank and file
We got the sea and the sand
We got colonial days on stolen, stolen land
Stolen land
Farewell to Forest Green
No more oasis in the Anthropocene
Only flat black glass
Under the waves and gone at, gone at last
Gone at last
And only stay here for survival
Always room for new arrivals on the scene
In Forest Green, the lights go dim
The awful night was creeping in again
In again
It's something that you've known since birth
You understand this place is cursed
It is cursed
But it feels like home
Feels like home
And I can't stay long

Sounds great you guys! I'm so happy that you're back together (although I like your solo stuff too...).
Gerry Thee
Absolutely great!!!!
Shane Sims
yay! I'm excited for more Wolf Parade and a chance to see them in person again. I came out (quite a long ways, actually) for the spring mini-tour this year with a best friend. We had gotten really into WP during the hiatus with the expectation that we wouldn't get a chance to see them play as WP. So the show meant a lot! And, finally, it was the impetus that got me to seek out different projects by them which my friend had been trying to get me to do for years.

new album howls
i like the song! groovy, sexy and in your face but polished enough to be both a disco and rock dancefloor jam, but still very moving and bittersweet and really heartbreaking. feels like home but i can't stay long and bam the outro is amazing
