It's been six years since Expo 86, eleven since the legendary Apologies to the Queen Mary, but Wolf Parade hasn't missed a beat - three of the four songs here are great, overflowing with desperate romanticism, building churning momentum into near-dancable ambushes.
The EP's the perfect format here: no room for the pacing to drag, no need for a breather or interlude, just 4 songs, each with its own beat shift // structural swerve // lyrical kneecapper. Floating World's the only dud, a little too predictable, a little too familiar, but EP 4's still a quietly thrilling 12 minutes, highly recommended to Wolf Parade fans and newcomers alike 4/5
