Wolf Parade Song Goes Viral After HBO Hit

Wolf Parade's renowned song "I'll Believe in Anything" has experienced a surge in popularity after being featured in a significant scene of the HBO romance series Heated Rivalry. This unexpected virality has prompted frontman Spencer Krug to release a new solo piano version of the track.

Krug initially performed this stripped-down rendition during a concert last month, where it was exceptionally well-received by the audience. Responding to this acclaim, a studio recording of the solo version has now been made available, which Krug described on Instagram as his best solo rendition to date. He emphasized that it honors the original Wolf Parade version.

In discussions about the song's placement, Krug and bandmate Dan Boeckner revealed that the series' creator, Jacob Tierney, specifically requested the song for a pivotal moment. They noted that the director's clear intention and deep appreciation for the track made the decision to license it straightforward, highlighting its integral role in the script.
