about

Blending its own unique style of psychedelic noise rock, desert themed tribal music, and soundscape, Wolf Party tells a fictional story in their self-titled concept album. Equal parts romance & horror, the album paints a picture of a narrative about a fantasy like desert world where an undead killer known as the Wolf rises from his grave to take his bride, and ultimately make a statement on our human understanding of romantic love as we know it today.

"These are what you could call my final thoughts on the album we're releasing this Valentine's Day:

Charles Bukowski taught us to fear the love of the average man in his poem "The Genius of the Crowd." With that in mind, there is quite the irony in the character some of you have already come to know in the story of Wolf Party. He plays the relentless romantic who will never let anything come between him and his darling, and often speaks the poetry that so many women are longing to hear from the mouths of their own men. But at the same time he plays the creep, who's interest in you is such that you will entertain it whether you feel the same way or not. The kind of love he has for her is the kind of passionate, fiery, all consuming love that Hollywood and society have taught us is the ultimate standard of love and that we should settle for nothing less. But is it love he has for her? He is so ravished by longing, so plagued by desire that he has entered a state of manic and furious psychosis. He is completely out of touch with reality, or what love actually is. He wants to have his babe and eat her too. And anyone who tries to stop him, burns up in the fire of his “love.” And that’s what Wolf Party is all about. Violence is the magnifying glass which brings issues to light, brings things to the surface so we can see just how ugly they really are. So we can ask ourselves what is love really? What does love actually look like and feel like? Does it burn us up inside and break us down? Does it ravish us with insecurity about ourselves and the true intentions of our partners? Or does it build us up and make us strong, and resolve insecurity within us. If I may quote a comedian I shared the stage with recently "You've never really been in love, if you've never contemplated a murder suicide." And I related to what he said in jest, and I could see, based on the pleased reaction of the crowd that a lot of other people felt exactly what he meant too. And that alone I think is quite the barometer for where people's heads are at today in this world on the issue of love. It’s far away from the reality of what it really is. If we really love our partners, will we compete with them, seek dominance or conquest over them, will we try to win their hearts for ourselves? Or if we love our partners will we be on the same team, will we nurture their hearts and share a heart with them rather than making a meal of it? “Love hurts,” the famous song goes. But does it? Or have we really become this confused on something so completely fundamental to humanity?"
