I'm not sure what it is about this husband-and-wife duo from Montreal. (He's the front man from Wolf Parade.) This is my second album by them (their third) and there isn't much that blows me away, but I really love the stuff as a package. The previous album (Face Control) was based on Russian influences fro their tours in Eastern Europe. This album is influenced by their two-year tour of Asia. Given that this album (different than the two previous, is devoid of guitars and the percussion comes from a machine, only things I can compare them to is a lot of the cooler '80s stuff (Depeche Mode or the Thompson Twins). Try Damage or What About Us? (FYI, the actual album cover, for reasons not completely clear, is a photo of a nude woman - full frontal. It's not what I chose to put here, but it what's on the youtube version.)
