Wolf Gang :: "The King And All Of His Men"

Wolf Gang are making up and breaking out just like we said they would. We've written about the band a few times over the last few months but never more prophetically than in our writing about one of their first demos, "Nightflying" last March.

"Maybe 2009 is the year for Wolf Gang. Given how roughed around the demos are, it could be 2010 by the time anyone really hears this but for now, let's call it: This band is going to blow up ... It's hard to picture now, but close your eyes and try anyways; richer production, maybe some strings, a real clean vocal mix, and those piano peel-offs in perfect crystaline hi-fi. It's hard to envision but the framework is there. I Promise." - 3.02.09

And here we are today, with the release of the band's latest single, "The King And All Of His Men." It all happened. They signed to Atlantic, made a big, clean album. "Richer production, maybe some strings, a real clean vocal mix, and those piano peel-offs in perfect crystaline hi-fi." And that was exactly the way it went.



"Wolf Gang, for all its ambitious sound and arrangement, will need to clean up their records. Bear this in mind when one of your friends plays you an over-produced version of this song (or another by the band) in 9-months. This is the fun part. You were there at the beginning ... sort of." 6.12.09
