PS I Love You - Meet Me at the Muster Station
With Wolf Parade's recent notice of an "indefinite hiatus" and a new album that's yet another step down from Apologies to the Queen Mary, PS I Love You's existence just became all that more vital. Though while Paul Saulnier's wavering, idiosyncratic voice is eerily reminiscent of Krug's, the band's muscular guitars have a bit more of a garage punk attitude, less introspective with hard riffs that go right for the jugular and tracks that get in and get out so you can get on with your life. It's a simple formula, but done with such verve and passion that it's ultimately as endearing as it is addictive and Saulnier's personal yet playfully esoteric lyrics add a perfectly light-hearted touch to some pretty rockin' tunes.
