Le Loup, which means "The Wolf" in French, issued their first album with the super long, folk art-inspired title-- The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations' Millennium General Assembly, on the Hardly Art label which is a subsidiary of Sub Pop. Categorized under indie-slash-experimental, this progressive septet (that's 7) from the D.C. area teamed up less than a year ago and have been touring all over with The Ruby Suns and Bodies of Water.
Le Loup brings a variety of instruments and chorus with four guitarist, a drummer and plethora of toys such as a French horn, tambourine, banjos, keys and other surprises from the Mary Poppin's chest. These kids all sing and clap and play oh-so-cute melodies with lyrics like "Give your heart to us/Give your soul to us" in "We Are Gods! We Are Wolves!" it is clear they are celebrating one thing...our demise! Adorable.
I first heard this band when I saw their music video at the Flux Screening at the Hammer Museum in May. I didn't catch the bands name until I unknowingly downloaded the oh so familiar track. Watch the video, it gave me chills.
