New information about the yet to be titled 3rd Wolf Parade record has surfaced. Thanks to the folks at Exclaim we now have some very interesting news to report! First, the new record could possible be a double LP! Also, Wolf Parade will be putting out a 7″ single prior to the release of the new record. The article states that the new record could possibly be released on June 29th. Dan spoke to Exclaim about how the record was put together:
“Everyone’s been working on it for 12 hours a day, seven days a week for the last two weeks,” he explains. “We ended up recording, I think, 15 songs, over 80 minutes of music, and we don’t really know now whether we’re going to put out an LP or a double album. If we did an LP maybe we’d do an LP and an EP, because we want to put all of the songs out. There were no songs that we recorded where everyone was like, ‘Oh, that’s a dud.’”
He also mentions the titles to two of the new tracks. The first being ‘Caveosapian’ which Dan says “It’s kind of an uptempo rager that Spencer sings that you could imagine people doing — you know the Archie Comics when people are dancing? That kind of dance.” The second song, ‘Yulia’, Dan says “I kind of get obsessed with cosmonauts, and specifically lost cosmonauts — cosmonauts that are still dead and floating in space. So the song is kind of a love letter to a cosmonaut’s life. I’m pretty happy with that. It’s got a bit of a Righteous Brothers feel to it.”
Dan also mentions thatHandsome Furs could possibly have a new record out by Spring 2011 and that he will be singing and playing guitar with Spoon when they play Radio City Music Hall on April 26th!
Wolf Parade are heading out on a month long tour of Europe to support their untitled 3rd record. Here is the current list of dates. As always, you can check their tour dates section for updates! Thanks to Kalle at Pitch and Smith and JC for the info.

When we got the news about the next Wolf Parade record a few weeks ago we had no idea there would be actual tour dates to report of so soon. Well I guess UK promoters want to get the party started. The first known Wolf Parade tour date to promote their third record will be May 18, 2010 at the HMV Forum in London. Tickets go on sale through ticketmaster beginning Monday December 14th at 9 am GMT. Thanks to all the kids in the forum for the heads up. We promise to post more tour dates as soon as we know them.

After receiving an onslaught of emails yesterday due to a mis-named post about another Wolf named band, I decided to get a status update on what Wolf Parade were actually up to. From Arlen:
The record is going well. We’re just starting songwriting. We’ll be in the studio tracking at Hotel2Tango at the end of February and are trying to have the record finished by early spring.
Can’t wait! We will of course post here as soon as we have more info on the new record and any upcoming tour dates. Thanks again Arlen!!
