I was listening to the new Sunset Rubdown album "Dragonslayer" the other day, and a thought struck me. And that thought was: "This sounds like those weird, angular Wolf Parade songs with the chappie yelping theatrically over the top". A few songs later and my mind was made up – this must be the yelpie Wolf Parade chappie. Then a little voice starts up in the back of my head, going, "You knew this, you know. You're getting old". And so I am. Tell you what, it's terrible getting [...]
Well, it's Bastille Day , let's honour it with a few oh so very French music videos and one that's questionable, but, as the French say, "c'est la vie!" Above us is Mickey 3D's "Matador"... And it's just not Bastille Day without Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg bringing us "Je T'aime", no? ...and Krug, though from British Columbia, now hangs his hat over in Montreal, which is French enough for me! Here we got Sunset Rubdown's Blackcab Session of "You [...]
The latest Wolf Parade side project album comes out today and it's not too bad. Sunset Rubdown is singer-keyboardist Spencer Krug's band. (Dan Boeckner , the other half of the Wolf Parade songwriting team, fronts the side band Handsome Furs .) Sunset Rubdown's new one, "Dragonslayer," sounds quite a bit like Wolf Parade with bouncy rhythms and Krug's distinctive, aching voice. It would be a stretch to say this album measures up to any of Wolf Parade's releases, though. [...]
Sunset Rubdown Dragonslayer (06.2009, Jagjaguwar) RIYL = Wolf Parade, Frog Eyes, Swan Lake In an age of album leaks, the idea of placing faith in a pre-ordered copy of an album requires a little bit less faith. However, for those strong few (or uninformed few), you can preorder the new Sunset Rubdown and receive a digital version of the album immediately. That being the case, there are scores of Sunset Rubdown fans who are already legally listening to Dragonslayer making now as good a time as any to present this album before [...]

I don't know how I missed this web site , but I guess I haven't really had the time to keep up on the indie rock world as much as I'd like in recent weeks and months, but Bon Iver was Chapter 44 of this project, so yeah, it must have been going on for a while. Anyway, the concept is pretty simple. One Song. One Take. One Cab. Pretty similar to Wye Oak in a Yaris , this is a bunch of different bands singing a song in a Black [...]

new sunset rubdown song, "you go on ahead" from their recent black cab session.
Sunset Rubdown was onlangs in Antwerpen. Ik heb dat optreden noodgedwongen moeten missen. Dik balen was dat. Deze Black Cab Session geeft een kleine impressie van hoe geniaal dat opterden ongeveer moet geweest zijn. Sunset Rubdown - Snakes Got A Leg III
