Sub Pop and Wolf Parade present a new, pink-vinyl pressing of their landmark album Apologies to the Queen Mary. This edition brings the long out-of-print album back to its original, single-LP format hot on the heels of the 2025 TV show Heated Rivalry, which introduced the album’s single “I’ll Believe in Anything” to a vast new audience, making the song a bona fide viral hit.

Wolf Parade was founded in 2003 in Montreal, Quebec. After a pair of self-titled EPs, the band - Hadji Bakara (electronic manipulations), Dan Boeckner (guitar, vocals), Spencer Krug (keyboards, vocals), Arlen Thompson (drums) - released Apologies to the Queen Mary to widespread acclaim in September, 2005. The album was recorded by Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock and engineer Chris Chandler at Audible Alchemy in Portland, Oregon.

Apologies to the Queen Mary barrels headfirst and breathlessly through songs written during Wolf Parade’s early years together as a band. The album’s catchy, energetic urgency immediately established them as one of the defining forces of 2000s indie-rock. It earned a 2006 nomination for Canada’s esteemed Polaris Music Prize; The Guardian raved, “magnificent, all told”; Pitchfork gave it a 9.2 rating, saying, “Wolf Parade's true talent is transforming the everyday into the unprecedented,” and later joined the chorus of critics who placed it among the best albums of the 2000s. Two decades on, Apologies to the Queen Mary has lost none of its vitality and continues to win over new generations of fans.
