  • 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.

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.

  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 18.10.2019 Wolf Parade Kehren Im März 2020
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 18.10.2019 Wolf Parade kehren im März 2020 auf die Bühne zurück In Montreals Musikszene sind Wolf Parade seit über einer Dekade eine feste Größe. Als Keyboarder Spencer Krug seine Heimat Victoria verlässt, um zum Studieren nach Montreal zu ziehen, nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf. Krug kennt in seiner neuen Wahlheimat einen befreundeten Booker, der ihm einen Support- Auftritt für die damals noch unbekannten Arcade Fire organisiert. Krug sagt zu – obwohl er zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch keine Band hat. Dafür bittet er aber den Gitarristen Dan Boeckner aus der alten Heimat um Hilfe. Und der ist sofort dabei. Wenige Wochen später schreiben sie an ihren ersten Songs und holen Arlen Thompson am Schlagzeug ins Boot: Wolf Parade sind geboren. Ihre Label-Heimat finden sie bei Sub Pop, ehemaliges Label von Nirvana oder Soundgarden, heute gehören Beach House und Julien Baker dazu. Dan und Spencer teilen sich den Gesang und bereichern die Musiklandschaft als ungleiches Paar. Ihr zuletzt erschienenes Album „Cry Cry Cry" von 2017 sorgte in der Musikpresse und bei den Fans dank düsterer Hymnen und kribbeliger Synthie-Melodien für Begeisterung. Nach drei Jahren haben Wolf Parade nun endlich neue Musik veröffentlicht: „Against The Day“ heißt die neue Single, die von Synthie-Klängen geprägt ist und von Dan Boeckners und Spencer Krugs alternierendem Gesang lebt, auch das Video dazu ist absolut sehenswert. Doch nicht nur ihr außergewöhnliches Songwriting überzeugt, auch Wolf Parades Ruf als versierte Performer eilt ihnen mittlerweile voraus.

    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.

  • 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.
