More Info:

With elements of post-hardcore, shoe gazing rock, and eerie electronica folded into a traditional pop context, WOLVES, the second album from Idiot Pilot is as innovative as it is accessible. Produced by Ross Robinson (At the Drive-in, Glassjaw) and co-produced by Blink-182s Mark Hoppus, this album elevates the duos sound to cinematic levels in both scope and vision. From the soaring symphonic opener "Last Chance" and anthemic rockers "In Record Shape" and "Red Museum" to the down-tempo "Theme from the Pit," WOLVES takes the next step in the evolution of Idiot Pilot.

Reviews:

For its sophomore album, WOLVES, the Washington State duo Idiot Pilot bolsters its electro-rock sound with catchier melodies and sterling production, courtesy of nu-metal/hardcore veteran Ross Robinson and Mark Hoppus (Blink 182/+44). Hoppus's bandmate, Travis Barker, drums on some of the record's tracks, but the high-profile help never outshines IP's engaging tunes, which often recall a heavy version of the Postal Service, most notably on the urgent, keyboard-driven "Retina and the Sky."
