I've been meaning to complain about this for a while - at least since the Polaris nominees were announced - but I was so thrilled about the surprise placing of Malajube in the top ten that I thought it might seem a little killjoy. But why in heaven's name wasn't Sunset Rubdown on the list? It can't have been only because it came out on tiny indie Global Symphonic; that label did, after all,
Spencer Krug doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. After consistently touring with Wolf Parade, followed by cross country gigs with his side project, gone full-time band Sunset Rubdown, it would seem like this one-time grad student might be the busiest person in indie rock. In his new project, Swan Lake, with Dan Bejar (Destroyer and the New Pornographers) and Carey Mercer (Frog Eyes), Krug has
Mp3: I'll Believe In Anything ...by a very busy person named Spencer Krug --how you say-- "Sunset Rubdown". He is also in Wolf Parade and another super group project called Swan Lake.
Hey, normally I'm not one to just immediately regurgitate record label press releases, but I've been waiting for this particular e-mail ever since this project was announced. Ladies and gentlemen, with thanks to Jagjaguwar Records , I give you the joined powers of Mssrs Krug, Mercer, and Bejar. The Canadian Voltron has come together at last, with their debut record as Swan Lake, Beast Moans . Swan Lake - "All Fires" On first listen, what I can tell you (other than [...]
Sunset Rubdown - Shut Up I Am Dreaming - 03 - Us Ones In Between Download Song This may be WAY late but hey I just heard these guys for the first time last friday when they played at the metro with Voxtrot and The Joggers. Theyre really awesome though. Think a more atmospheric Wolf Parade (hint: this IS Wolf [...]
The first time we played this game I compared the two versions of the Long Winters' "Ultimatum," my ultimate preference being for the original. For today's installment consider two versions of the same song by slightly different artists: "I'll Believe in Anything" by Wolf Parade and Sunset Rubdown. Given that Wolf Parade keyboardist and part-time vocalist Specer Krug is the main man behind Sunset Rubdown, these two tracks only differ slightly at first glance. Both prominently feature keyboards and of course, both have generally the same lyrics and vocals. What immediately [...]
NYC reached 100 degrees yesterday, and apparently today is supposed to be worse. I've quarantined myself in my bedroom where the AC is cranking on full blast. The second I step outside my room, I'm a puddle of sweat. It's quite gross. Listen to these and try to stay cool. Shout Out Louds - 100 Degrees The Jam - Heatwave Everclear - Santa Monica David Dondero - Summer Suicide No.1 [...]
Vacations are always good and yet they hardly ever turn out to be vacations. Our schedule over this past weekend made our average lives feel laidback. Of course, its no secret that when you combine some of the best music acts of the moment with humidity, heat, sweat, hot dogs, deep dish, and tragically un-hip youth you are going to have some major work on your hands. It seems that there was a
After a musically fulfilling yet physically exhausting weekend, we are now on our return back to our gloryhole, Los Angeles. Since our day tomorrow is going to consist of catching planes at god awful hours, the Content would like to leave you a few pics to get your mouths salivating for the full recap of our weekend in the "windy city" as well as a few of our favorite songs from the weekend. See
Showgoers will be hoping for a happy ending when Sunset Rubdown plays Zaphod's on Wednesday As The Poets Affirm are the lucky ones who get the opening slot for Sunset Rubdown , that band you've heard of featuring Spencer Krug ( Wolf Parade ) and Camilla Wynne Ingr (ex- Pony Up! ). But they deserve it: the instrumental ensemble has paid their dues around town for the last couple years, and the opportunity for more attention is something they've earned. So show up on time... doors at 8, first set should be [...]
Sunset Rubdown - Swimming Stasis in darkness. Then the substanceless blue Pour of tor and distances. God's lioness, How one we grow, Pivot of heels and knees! {Read poems from Ariel}
Ok, so the deal about the last week or so is that I've only been playing EP's. Not, it gets tiring to keep heading back to my CD player, but these things are killing me. Seems like there's been a rash of excellent (mostly debut) EP's hitting the floor these days. And, to top things off, all these bands have come to me through the interweb. Music blogs are the best, no? Anyhow, without further ado, I present a little list of my top EP's of recent past. Most of 'em have been released [...]
Totally random note: lipstick on blogs is the new hip thing, apparently (like last summer it was wolves in bands): there's websites with Lipstick in the title popping up all over. There's Lipstick is My Crack , a fashion blog, and The Lipstick of Noise , a music blog, and The Days & Nights of a Lipstick Librarian , which is about what it sounds like it is. Therefore, eMusic is my lipstick. Because I said so. But really the point of this is that eMusic is rockin' my world more [...]

One of the reasons why I enjoy listing my favorite albums from a certain year is that it's so highly debatable. There are rarely two publications who have exactly the same order or number one album. There will always be arguments about year end lists, whether it be from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, or Stylus... it will never change. For example, here is my Top Fifty Albums of 2005 . At the end of this year, I will do my traditional top fifty albums, but for now, I just thought I'd share my top ten of the year so far [...]
The title of Indie Supergroup is a little thin these days given the Canadian exponents' propensity for schizophrenic collaboration. In recent years, the title has been bestowed on both The New Pornographers and Broken Social Scene, but it is a lie. What this flagrant labelling is really indicative of is a ...
I'm out until the 12th or the 13th, depending when or if I choose to come back from Open'er. But before I go, here's some of my favourite music to smoke, eat, shower, walk, imagine driving, drink a nice bevvie to, this darkening side of 2006. Love Is All - Make Out Fall Out Make Up mp3 Nouvelle Vague - Ever Fallen In Love mp3 Larrikin Love - Downing St. Kindling mp3 (6 Music - BBC [...]
Once again MS.com seeks to mine tracks from the best albums, and rescue tracks from questionable ones, in service of creating an unstoppable time capsule of a season's worth of music. Spring time had its hits and its misses, but there was good to be had, friends. Let's take a second, as rainclouds and crippling humidity ruin our lives to remember the beautiful days we once loved and the soundtrack filling our ear buds as we loved them. We're taking a few days off to enjoy the extended weekend, celebrate our break up [...]
Sunset Rubdown still on the brain, with me earning superfan status by hitting their second Mercury Lounge date tonight. For cohesion's sake I thought I'd stay on the same page with a man and his piano, artin' it up. THE man and his piano, regardless of what Billy Joel might have you believe. David Bowie - "Oh, You Pretty Things" ( Old Grey Whistle Test , 1972) The similarities to SR are most [...]
