Interview with Spencer Krug (Sunset Rubdown)
-
Artist:
Over a crackly delayed phone line to Montreal, JP O Malley managed to catch up with Spencer Krug (of Wolf Parade, Swan Lake, Frog Eyes and Sunset Rubdown), the most prolific indie musician since Mark E Smith. Krug’s band Sunset Rubdown have two Irish dates this weekend.How do you manage your time to write, record [...]

Sunset Rubdown Bassist Struck By Lightning

Artist:

Album:
First of all, he’s ok, so you’ll still probably get to see some Dragonslayer live in the near future...just breathe. Holy shit though! As you can see from the electro-current shaped mark, he was tagged in the back and the information we know now comes from the folks at his label (Jagjaguwar) and the horse’s mouth. Read on…A few weeks ago SUNSET RUBDOWN’s Marc Nicol, aka The Nuc, was enj

Sunset Rubdown – Dragonslayer
-
Artist:
-
Album:
With the exception of perhaps Rob Crow, Spencer Krug is almost a shoe-in for the inaugural Pitchfork-backed ‘Mr Prolific Indie Rock of the Decade’; while the perceived day job he holds down may well be as co-frontman of Wolf Parade, the busy Canuck also finds time for Frog Eyes, Swan Lake, and not least, Sunset [...]

Artist:
-
Album:
Sunset Rubdown vs. Handsome Furs? Sounds like an indie music porno if I’ve ever heard one. After releasing the great At Mount Zoomer last year, Wolf Parade’s Spencer Krug and Dan Boeckner both went headlong into their side projects this year. Instead of reviewing each separately, let’s just toss them in the ring for a [...]

Review: Sunset Rubdown - Dragonslayer (* * * *)
-
Artist:
-
Album:
Spencer Krug remains one of the most prolific of rockstars, following the Wolf Parade and Frog Eyes family tradition of joining enough bands that you can release multiple albums per year while somehow keeping the quality level respectably high for almost everything you do. While not everyone loved this year's Swan Lake release, Krug's work stood out as the brightest of the three musicians ( the...

Is easily the best album I've heard all year...easily. It's packed full of long, mesmerizing, chill enducing, and beautiful Spencer Krug creations. Maybe I'll get tired of it after obsessing about it, but god damn is this album epic! Sorry Feist, sorry LCD Soundsystem, you've got some stiff competition!Sunset Rubdown-Random Spirit Lover: full album review sometime before next friday, promise. M...

Album:Shut Up I Am Dreaming [Digipak]
At first I wasn't too keen to Sunset Rubdown, sure i loved Wolf Parade's latest release (Sunset Rubdown is Spencer Krug, keyboardist for Wolf Parade's other band), but i've been disappointed with Sunset Rubdown before. However a freind and band mate finaly decided it was time to prove me wrong, and he did just that by burning me a copy of the album and sitting in my room waiting for me to ac...

Sunset Rubdown is the other band of Wolf Parade member Spencer Krug. While Sunset Rubdown may not have the instant accessibility of Wolf Parade, the band certainly points to the talent that Krug certainly possesses.In my opinion Shut Up I Am Dreaming is a remarkable achievement for Krug and his bandmates. BUT what i'm interested is Krug has taken himself into elite songwriter territory which i ...

Sunset Rubdown: 'Random Spirit Lover' - or How To Be Witty Without Uttering A Word
-
Artist:
-
Album:
-
Track:The Mending of the Gown
Wit in music. Not in lyrics, which is easy enough - but in the way one chord leads to another, or a melody appears, or pauses are used. It's a rare phenomenon: one found in the work of classical composers such as Handel and Haydn, say. A (rather more modern) witty album, in my opinion, is Weezer's _Pinkerton_ (leagues better than anything else by the band) - and Sunset Rubdown's _Random Spirit ...
