Song of the Day - November 4, 2005

We Are Wolves are a French Canadian trio that haunts your electro-punk nightmares. The track "La Nature" starts out with a screaming distorted siren-like noise, followed by a heavily overdriven bass that reminds me of very early Joy Division. In the background one hears what may possibly be the fragmented calls of a wolf. The frantic music builds to a climax, stops briefly to tease you, and starts all over again. Eventually mangled vocals enter into the mix. When I listen to this track I feel that the music is obscured, analogous to wandering in a fog shrouded forest on a moonless night. Click here to listen.
