I just discovered Wolf Parade last week. At Mount Zoomer is as refreshing an album as I've heard in years. Took a few listens to get it, but man, great stuff.

Not the most accessible entry point into Wolf Parade.
Try their first album, Apologies to the Queen Mary, especially Shine a Light (the big single), I'll Believe in Anything, and This Heart's on Fire.
Also, if you like Wolf Parade, check out Sunset Rubdown and Swan Lake, two of Spencer's Krug's other bands. I wouldn't call them "side projects" at all as they're just as critically acclaimed.
I'm trying to listen to Travis because I'm seeing them in concert next month. They're ok, but I'm a little underwhelmed. It'll take many more listenings. I do like the song "Sing".
Can anyone recommend a few tracks?
So far on my "immersion" playlist (tracks recommended by friends):
Jack White and Alicia Keys to duet on the next James Bond Theme!
At first I cringed. "Alicia Keys? Her voice is terrible!" But then her point about the rawness of her voice meshing well with the rawness of the White Stripes's sound actually makes sense. White will produce and play drums.
Comments
Other Stevie songs that i've been listening to include:
Pastime Paradise
If It's Magic
Superstition
Lately
All in Love is Fair
Too Shy To Say
But "As" still has the largest play count by far. It's over 230 now.
It's a concept album.
Wittgenstein--How I Love Thee-- What Kind of Name is Ludwig?
It's a concept album.
Don't Do Me Like That -- Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers -- Damn The Torpedoes
Best. Song. Ever. Written.
My iTunes play count is 412. That's almost 50 hours of As!!
His "Follows the Lights" EP with reworked versions of "Dear John" and "If I Am a Stranger" are masterful.
