Wolf Parade: Yulia

There’s something about the way Dan Smith’s voice sits on that sparse guitar in Yulia—the way it just hangs there, almost fragile, like he’s asking a question nobody’s going to answer. Wolf Parade could’ve made it bigger, busier, but instead they let it breathe, let it be this small quiet thing. I keep coming back to it when I need to remember that a song doesn’t have to do much to do everything.
