There's this kid. You know him, I'm sure you do, everyone I talk to knows this kid, or someone who sounds just like him. He's weird, that's the first thing people say about him, because it's the easy thing to say. It's the soft description. Hes not weird, though. Okay, he is a bit weird, in the "otherworldly" sense of the world, because most of the time, it's as if he's in another world from ours. Physically he'll be standing right next to you, but mentally, emotionally, spiritually, he's somewhere you'll never be allowed to go. And maybe [...]
Spencer Krug returns victorious, teaming with Siinai to write a rock record. I know, right? Do a favor for me: imagine, if you will, a post-apocalyptic landscape, Hunger Games style, where we've all jettisoned the pretense of not wanting our entertainers to follow our consumerist sensibilities to their logical extreme and fight each other, tooth and claw, to the death in order to earn our unending affection. Except instead of kids, we're watching Canadian musicians. And instead of being the best at archery (right? I haven't read the Hunger Games...

When Spencer Krug said that his Moonface projects would probably never sound like Wolf Parade or Sunset Rubdown, I imagine the majority of Krug’s fans hoped that he would one day eat those words. Enthusiasts of the Canadian mastermind are always likely to welcome his forays into experimental sounds and ideas, such as his Dreamland EP, where he explored the content of his dreams over a certain time period, all to music created by marimba (and shit-drums), or on his album from last year, Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped , where [...]
Spencer Krug has enough music in his bones to record under a handful of monikers . His bold rock songs were folded into Wolf Parade, the grand, theatric stuff went toward Sunset Rubdown, and the silvery webs of indie rock went to supergroup Swan Lake. But he’s saved the most experimental material for Moonface , the dreamy meditative stuff as narrowly focused as his other eccentric work was wide, the work heavily indebted to drone.While his past two Moonface releases focused on a single instrument (his 2010 EP Marimba and Shit-Drums and 2011 LP [...]

Moonface with Siinai: Teary Eyes And Bloody Lips Spencer Krug returns with another Moonface album, luckily not taking too long since the last one. And this time...he brought friends, Finnish krautrock band Siinai . And of course it's got a ridiculously epic title like Heartbreaking Bravery . Surprise surprise, it's a pretty deece album, with Krug's awesome melodies and the dense, rock-solid grounding of Siinai behind him. It playfully indulges at times in the kind of patient exploration of sound that old obscure psych [...]
by Andrew Sacher DOWNLOAD: Moonface - "Teary Eyes and Bloody Lips (MP3) Last year, Wolf Parade/Sunset Rubdown vocalist Spencer Krug released his debut full length under his relatively new Moonface moniker, Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I'd Hoped . That album featured little more than Spencer's voice, organ, and a drum machine, a fairly drastic but welcome change from the guitar/piano songwriting he's become known for in his [...]
Shervin Iainez Rose Cousins is not a new artist. The Charlottetown by way of Halifax artist has been releasing music for the better part of a decade and I've technically heard her before as she's guested on any number of Maritime-born records including Joel Plaskett's, but I'd not heard any of her own material until her third full-length album We Have Made A Spark , released at the end of February. And clearly that's been my loss. It's not a record that stops you in your [...]
Not one to hang around, Spencer Krug's Moonface project has made a swift return following the release of first full length,the fabulously titled Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I'd Hoped back in August 2011. With Siinai: Heartbreaking Bravery is a collaborative project between Krug and Finnish band Siinai , the two teams having come into contact a few years back when a previous incarnation of the group toured with Krug's other project, Wolf Parade . A union was formed, and so when Siinai declared they were searching [...]
Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Swan Lake and now Moonface ; Spencer Krug is doing a great job of being Canadian indie’s answer to whatever question it is that Damon Albarn is asking. What’s curious about the full-length debut of this latest project, however is that in all honesty,there’s nothing about it that couldn’t feature on, say, a Swan Lake or Sunset Rubdown record. The names of his projects now, more than ever, seem pretty interchangeable. Funny though, because the sound of the preceding Moonface EP – the droning, meandering keys of Organ [...]
A haunting stop-motion video has been released to accompany the Moonface track "Teary Eyes and Bloody Lips." The video fits the songs lyrics and melody well, featuring many empty and desolate locales. Using static backgrounds the stop emotion effect makes these still images still feel lively by having an object moving through them along with heavy use of blur and after image. There is a great use of filters as much of the beautiful scenery is made to look darker and hold some more significant meaning. Look for Heartbreaking Bravery April 17th or listen to the full album at The A.V [...]
Welcome to Dissected , where we disassemble a band’s catalog in the abstract. It’s exact science by way of a few beers. Spencer Krug : The Man, The Myth, The Keyboardist. Many have attempted to put the 34 year old British Colombian in a classifiable box, but few have succeeded, if any. Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Moonface, Frog Eyes, Fifths of Seven, Swan Lake: these are not the names of zoo exhibits, resort massage packages, metropolitan ballets, or time signatures, but the seemingly never-ending musical outlets with which Krug is associated. Under the Wolf Parade moniker, [...]
