  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Foreign Diplomats
    FOREIGN DIPLOMATS Foreign Diplomats, c’est la jeunesse indocile et indie-pop, sur la forme. Sur le fond, c’est la ruelle où l’on fait exploser des pétards plutôt que de se rendre aux poings. C’est l’imprévisibilité dotée d’un charme, pas celle qui emmerde. Autrement, Foreign Diplomats, c’est l’histoire en cours d’une poignée de gars des Laurentides exilés à Montréal – Lazer le batteur de 6 pieds, Tony le sage bassiste/claviériste, Charles le séduisant guitariste, Thomas l’hyperactif claviériste/tromboniste, Élie le chanteur mélancolique – qui ont trouvé, sans le chercher vraiment, le nom de leur cinq-têtes dans la file d’attente des douanes d’un aéroport. Avec un maxi éponyme (2013) et deux albums – Princess Flash (2015) réalisé par Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Sam Roberts Band, Iron & Wine) et Monami (2019) construit en collaboration avec Jace Lasek (Wolf Parade, The Barr Brothers, Patrick Watson, Sunset Rubdown) – Foreign Diplomats dispose déjà d’une solide expérience sur scène. En plus d’assurer des premières parties prestigieuses (Violent Femmes, Phantogram, Teenage Fanclub, Alex Nevsky, Vance Joy, Half Moon Run), la formation affiche son aura charismatique dans de nombreux festivals de réputation internationale (Osheaga Festival Musique et Arts, Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, Festival d’été de Québec, Paléo Festival Nyon… ). Foreign Diplomats, c’est en somme le chemin parcouru à grande vitesse entre l’origine et une destination où le groupe ne manque pas de s’entourer d’un bassin d’alliés à son image. Et à dépeindre cette dernière, on se l’avoue festive, survoltée, résolue.

  • Swan Lake Enemy Mine
    SWAN LAKE ENEMY MINE Swan Lake is the musical group featuring celebrated songwriter-mystics Daniel Bejar (of Destroyer Spanish Gold, 2044 and New Pornographers), Spencer Krug (of Sunset Rubdown and Wolf Parade) and Carey Mercer (of Paper Lace Frog Eyes and Blackout Beach).
