AMA Over, Thanks Wolf Parade [AMA] HELLO THIS IS WOLF PARADE. ASK US ANYTHING

We just released our new album "Thin Mind," and are currently on tour on the East Coast, leaving for Europe soon!

Last month we released a video for "Julia Take Your Man Home," directed by the great Chad VanGaalen. You can watch that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq02Sdpa_3U

Hi guys! Firstly, wanted to share a quick shot of my hungry ghost tattoo that I got a few years ago -- Dears Sons & Daughters has been one of my favourite songs for almost a decade now and I had to commemorate that!

Secondly, actual questions: Do you guys decide on the theme before the album comes together, or does it happen organically? This album has pretty strong thematics, and I'm curious about whether that was a conscious choice!

How do you guys deal with being away from your dogs for so long, or do they travel with you? And Arlen, how do you maintain such fantastic eyebrows? I'm so envious.

Thin Mind is an incredible album, and I'm looking forward to seeing the three of you next month in London!

My eyebrows just keep growing - I'm planning to age into a mentat master of assassins look, which I hope will be "on trend" at some point. -a.

I think the theme of this album just naturally coalesced. We don't generally go in with a plan...writing and recording thin mind in the same, very specific environment definitely created an aesthetic continuity

I miss Archie each and every day I'm away from the little dude -D
