Wolf Parade’s debut album, Apologies to the Queen Mary, is an indie rock classic. It features distorted guitars, propulsive drums on the verge of collapse, bizarre yelps and howls, and evocative lyrics about ghosts, death, grief, and the perils of modernity, but it never stops being accessible, catchy, and anthemic.

On first listen, Wolf Parade is just another Canadian buzz band that plays fun, keyboard-heavy, new wave inspired indie-rock and sings in weird, affected, high-pitched tones. Upon further listening, the songs on Apologies to The Queen Mary reveal a lot of strange and fuzzy little details, and the lyrics have more depth than most bands do on their debut albums. The album was an entirely collaborative effort, barreling headfirst and breathlessly through songs written during Wolf Parade’s early years together as a band.

This edition brings the long out-of-print album back to its original, single-LP format hot on the heels of the 2025 TV show Heated Rivalry, which introduced the album’s single “I’ll Believe In Anything” to a vast new audience, making the song a bona fide viral hit.

Limited Edition PINK vinyl produced by Sub Pop Records in 2026.
