  • 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.

  • Alternative Cds Dominate 2006'S Best
    Alternative CDs dominate 2006’s best Top 10 albums of ‘06 w Jared Delmar w Managing Editor Each year around this time, magazines that cover entertainment news publish lists of the best performances of the preceding year. West Word is no exception; the Around Town section of the paper regularly publishes reviews of films, television programs, video games, restaurants and other media, including music. This year’s top 10 albums include: 1 0 . 45:33 – LCD Soundsystem A treadmill run, “programming inclines and speed throughout,” is what LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy describes is the basis for 45:33, a sprawling and, as the title suggests, 45 minute and 33 second long epic. With no really central melody throughout, and the lyrics appearing in short bursts every 10 minutes or so, 45:33 is a perfect paradigm for 2006’s unconventional tendencies. It was originally designed, so Murphy says, to require very little focus and for the beat not to rival the pace of running. Regardless, it is also easy to to see the appeal even while sitting on a sofa or car seat. 9. Shut Up I Am Dreaming – Sunset Rubdown Beginning modestly, with the lo-fi debut Snake’s Got A Leg, Sunset Rubdown was Spencer Krug, a five-dollar Casio and a four-track recorder. Krug had full creative control over—well—himself, as a solo artist, and this fact remains unchanged as SunsetRubdown adopted three new members for their sophomore album. Krug, having performed vocally with other groups (Frog Eyes, Destroyer and Wolf Parade), brings more to the table than just his voice.
