Indie-Rock superband Wolf Parade are taking some time apart, co-leader Spencer Krug told a Toronto audience. “This is the last show we’ll play for a long time,” he said according to Spinner.

Other co-leader Dan Boeckner also acknowledged the split, according to Pitchfork he told Wolf Parade’s fan site that the band will be taking an “indefinite hiatus” after “a few shows” and the band’s label, Sub Pop, confirmed the hiatus.

Whether this split is a permanent one is something we’ll have to wait and see. Until we know more, enjoy the song “Yulia” off of the band’s last release EXPO 86.
