WHERE I HEARD IT

This is my third post in a row of a song that I dis­cov­ered on CBS’ Crim­i­nal Minds dur­ing this sea­son, Sea­son 5.

BRIEF BIO (a la wikipedia)

- Wolf Parade is an indie rock band formed in 2003 from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

- Apolo­gies to the Queen Mary is the highly-acclaimed first full-length album by Cana­dian indie rock band Wolf Parade.

– Accord­ing to inter­views with the band, the album is named after an inci­dent in which the band was removed from the ocean lin­er Queen Mary for break­ing down the door of a ball­room and stag­ing a vio­lent séance.

- The album achieved a score of 83 out of 100 on Metacritic, appeared in the Cana­dian edi­tion of Time magazine’s list of “Canada’s Most Antic­i­pated Indie Albums of the Year,” and was short­listed for the 2006 Polaris Music Prize.

- Online music mag­a­zine Pitch­fork Media placed Apolo­gies to the Queen Mary at #89 on their list of Top 200 Albums of the 2000s. Cokema­chine­glow named it the 5th great­est album of the 2000s.
