More Info:

With elements of post-hardcore, show-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. From the soaring symphonic opener"Last Chance"and anthemic rocker"In Record Shape"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."
