Sunset Rubdown Can 2009-08-31 13:16 CEST SUNSET RUBDOWN CAN 3 september - Malmö, Debaser Malmö 4 september - Göteborg, Parken 5 september - Stockholm, Strand/Svenska Musikklubben Sunset Rubdown är Wolf Parade-sångaren Spencer Krugs sidoprojekt. Det går lugnt säga att Spencer är en av de som jobbar hårdast i den kanadensiska indiescenen just nu och har därför blivit en centralgestalt inom den sena 00- talets intressantaste rockscen. Han är frontfigur i Wolf Parade, han bidrar sporadiskt till Frog Eyes musik, han är jämte Dan Bejar och Carey Mercer en av medlemmarna i den fragmentariska supergruppen Swan Lake. Och så har han sedan 2005 gett ut plattor under namnet Sunset Rubdown, ursprungligen ett sido- och soloprojekt, som framme vid sitt fjärde album. I Sunset Rubdown får Spencer utlopp för sina mer experimentella låtar och ljudcollage. Musiken är djärvare, mer utstuderad och psykedeliskt bångstyrig än hos till exmepel Wolf Parade, än mer förkärlek för popharmonier i stället för progrocksymfonier. Senaste skivan "Dragonslayer" släpptes i år och är en mini-opera som har många tempo och förändras hela tiden i många olika riktningar. Skivan går från Tori Amos frodiga pianotoner till indierock till polka till "eighties left-field pop", en mångfald av stilar som gör musiken både intressant och underhållande. Låtarna gränsar mellan beskrivande och poetiska och Spencer målar bilder av vunnen och förlorad kärleken genom "modern day style fairy tales". Detta är det mest intressanta som har hänt sedan Animal Collective, Of Montreal och Broken Social Scene. Band som lik Sunset Rubdown tidigt i karriären gjorde sig närmast otillgängliga för en bred publik, vilket antagligen var en förutsättning för dem att testa sina idéer i offentligheten. En kultpublik som känner sig exklusiv och utvald är mer tillåtande. Och Sunset Rubdown är nu redo för den breda massan. Sunset Rubdown turnerar hela 2009 i Europa och Nord-Amerika. De är aktuella med nya skivan "Dragonslayer" som släpptes 23 juni 2009 på Jagjaguwar. BILJETTER Stockholm. Inget förköp. För övriga städer, se respektive spelställe.

  • The New Pornographers
    The New Pornographers For what purpose the popular song? Does the popular song have a purpose? Is it just a sequence of auditory gestures, desperate acts, adrift in the bigger broader silence of an unforgiving cultural landscape? In what follows, we will assume that the purpose of the popular song is to unite warring disputants and to repair the manifold puncture wounds of life, so that life is revealed, again, as less accursed than it appears. And let’s assume that we go on listening to the popular song, which in the vast majority of its iterations is a failure, because we are chronic in our need for this rehabilitation of our puncture-wounded selves. Take any fine example, take “All You Need Is Love,” by the Beatles, or “Walk Away, Renee,” by the Left Banke, or “Tears of a Clown,” by Smokey Robinson. Try listening to these songs. Almost immediately, your suppurations begin to clot. Into this tryingly difficult history of the popular song stride The New Pornographers, into a period in which it has to be acknowledged that the medium is mostly dead, is passed, is no longer a uniting force, but, more frequently, a medium of division, one entirely controlled by the Ownership Society and made profitable according to shareholders who don’t give a fuck if your puncture wounds are healed over as long as the product ships. The New Pornographers, stunningly, do not seem to understand that the popular song is dead, is passed, and The New Pornographers, despite their complete and nearly monastic understanding of the Secret Knowledge of the popular song, will themselves into being, characterized by a uniform devotion to the great history that precedes them by only a couple of decades, and their coming into being in a somewhat unlikely place, Vancouver, not previously noted for a unvarying profusion of rock genius, is particular not only for uniformity of purpose but because they manage, in this uniformity, to bring a considerable cast of local adepts all as one into the tent.

  • Sunset Rubdown Random Spirit Lover
    SUNSET RUBDOWN RANDOM SPIRIT LOVER The Mending Of The Gown The woven lyrics and singular songwriting style heard in Sunset Rubdown invoke a mythological Magic Vs. Midas world, where magical narratives and tiny metaphors give shape to ordinary objects in the room; Up On Your Leopard, Upon The End sometimes beautiful, sometimes beastly. The moniker was first born to bear the solo bedroom Of Your Feral Days recordings of Spencer Krug, but has since evolved into a full-fledged band, involving the vital The Courtesan Has Sung contributions of fellow Montreal residents Jordan Robson Cramer, Michael Doerksen, and Camilla Wynne Ingr. Winged/Wicked Things Colt Stands Up, Grows Horns Now enter Sunset Rubdown’s third full-length record, Random Spirit Lover, featuring twelve songs Stallion that bleed in and out of each other, mixing portents with theatrics, confusions with conversions. For The Pier (And Dead Shimmering) The dark glamour of the music beneath the half-baked revelations in rhyme creates a tone of high The Taming Of The Hands That drama, blown-out and overt, but the stage is wild and the roles aren’t clear, so the sincerity of the Came Back To Life work and the spontaneity of the recordings can’t help but shine through the formality of structure. In short, listening to Random Spirit Lover is like watching schoolchildren in a dress rehearsal for the Setting Vs. Rising annual Easter play. And though they aren’t old enough to know the occasion is anything more than Trumpet, Trumpet, Toot! Toot! pastel-painted eggs and edible bunnies, they wear the fake beards with confidence and style.

    MOONFACE JULIA WITH BLUE JEANS ON Barbarian Since January 2010, Spencer Krug has used Moonface as a venue for home-recorded instrumental and Everyone is Noah, Everyone is conceptual experimentation, expanding the ideas he developed collaboratively with Wolf Parade, Sunset the Ark Rubdown, and Frog Eyes. Releases under this moniker have come quickly, each distinct from the other. The Barbarian II Dreamland EP and Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped were conceptual excursions merging November 2011 instrumental and thematic fixations. After moving from Montreal to Helsinki, Krug teamed up with the Dreamy Summer Finnish band Siinai to create a lush rock record—2012’s Heartbreaking Bravery—driven by the dark despair Julia with Blue Jeans On of a breakup. Staying in Helsinki, Krug set off on yet another creative departure, driven by a rediscovery of Love the House You're In love and a reconsideration of the Moonface persona he’d created for himself. The quietly stunning Julia with First Violin Blue Jeans On is the fourth Moonface release, bringing a degree of intimacy and self-reflection unlike Black is Back in Style anything Krug has produced to date. Your Chariot Awaits There are only two sonic elements on Julia: Spencer Krug’s voice and his piano. Richly recorded, they interact seamlessly with one another. On the opening track “Barbarian,” the piano unfolds with the hypnotic energy CATALOG #: JAG222 of Keith Jarrett’s Koln Concert, Krug’s right hand doubling his vocal melody. On the closing track “Your RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 29, 2013 Chariot Awaits,” Krug’s voice recedes after a minute as the piano swells for an extended showcase with FORMAT: CD/LP/DIGITAL modern classical undertones.

    Tanned Tin Castelló 2007 tendrá lugar en Castellón, los próximos 1, 2 y 3 de noviembre (con actividades complementarias el día 31 de octubre y el 4 de noviembre). Si el año pasado supuso la consolidación total y un éxito de público y prensa, éste 2007 se apostará por una mayor implicación de la ciudad, siendo 4 los escenarios en los que actuarán los grupos. El miércoles 31 de octubre se inaugura el festival en el Centro Municipal de Cultura. Además, recuperamos el moderno y magnífico Auditori i Palau de Congressos para la noche del jueves 1 de noviembre. Los días 2, 3 y 4 de noviembre, el centro neurálgico del festival continuará siendo el impresionante Teatre Principal de Castelló, que tanto impactó (por su estética y sobre todo su sobresaliente acústica) el año pasado y que se encuentra cerca de los hoteles, restaurantes y resto de servicios. Y no nos podíamos olvidar de otro de los éxitos del año pasado, ya que volvemos a insistir en una fórmula casi única en los festivales independientes, como son las dos matinales a las 13:00 horas en el Casino Antiguo los días 2 y 3 de noviembre. La idea fundamental del Tanned Tin Castelló consiste en ofrecer un menú degustación de lo que consideramos lo más interesante del panorama independiente internacional. Este festival de las distancias cortas es una decidida apuesta por acercar a nuestro país propuestas innovadoras y emocionantes o, simplemente, las más hermosas y sinceras de lo que tanto el pop, el rock y el folk como la electrónica y sus combinaciones menos previsibles ofrecen.
