who knew : made believe

this song seems to borrow every one of its tricks from wolf parade's apologies to the queen mary, specifically the song "i'll believe in anything" (i.e. thundering drums, warbling vox, razor synths, open a-string guitar riff, big chorus about believing, etc.). i mean, they're practically the same song. but i suppose there isn't really a better template from which to sculpt cloud-reaching indie-rock anthems. "make believe" doesn't come close to the former, but that doesn't mean it isn't one hell of an attempt. damn good. haven't heard such a beautiful cacophony in quite some time.


bonus points for being from iceland.
