Video: Moonface - "Faraway Lightning" (Official Video)

Here's a confession: It was hard to define what the term "indie rock" meant in 2012. But this list takes a shot by reemphasizing the "independent" in "indie rock". Here's a confession to start: I don't know what the term "indie rock" means in 2012. I've made this list for PopMatters the past three years running, and I've always sent it off to my editors feeling as if I'd cheated somehow, swept a few albums underneath the banner that likely didn't quite belong there. But now, looking back over the year, I've noticed more of a subtle -- but [...]

Moonface é Spencer Krug (Wolf Parade / Sunset Rubdown) a ser interessante. "I´m Not The Phoenix Yet" é mais um tema de uma colecção que tem vindo a público desde há um ano, nomeadamente o EP "Marimba and Shit-Drums" O vídeo de "I´m Not The Phoenix Yet" foi gravado com uma câmara VHS (sabem o que é isso?) e continua a ser tão ímpar como já tinha sido o vídeo de "Faraway Lightning" Podem encontrar estes temas no LP "With Siinai: Heartbreaking Bravery" (capa na foto).

Moonface is the latest musical endeavor spearheaded by the ever-prolific Spencer Krug (Sunset Rubdown, Wolf Parade, Swan Lake). "Faraway Lightning," from Heartbreaking Bravery (Jagjaguwar), is a trudging synth march typical of Krug's grandiose writing style. Although the video uses cut-out animation, it doesn't undermine the song, and the narrative shown reflects the epic themes in [...]

In Spencer Krug 's dense, sprawling musical domain, bands come and go — whether that means putting Wolf Parade on indefinite hiatus or seemingly neglecting his former side-project Sunset Rubdown — on an almost annual basis. His newest project under the pseudonym Moonface (after releasing three previous EPs that were startlingly different in style) is a minimalist rock collaboration with Finnish band Siinai entitled Heartbreaking Bravery . Compared to his denser, more complex compositions in previous Moonface releases (and really, Krug's entire back catalogue), Heartbreaking Bravery [...]

So many times we fall behind for things that are out of our control. Other times it's because we're working extra hard. Things are about to take a drastic turn around here in the next few weeks, but rest assured, you'll be the beneficiary of it. VERY excited...   Moonface 's last record was a favorite of mine and thanks to continued creative film making, this video for 'Faraway Lightning' is probably the best video Spencer Krug 's eloquent voice has ever been associated with. [...]

The video for " Faraway Lightning "is a unique take on the 5 stages of grief (which can't help but make me think of this ), just one more example of how Moonface continues creating some of the most complete and impressive art this year. Connect with Moonface - Facebook | Website | Last.fm ( Via )

I had a dream about Spencer last night, that I was at a Moonface concert and he came to greet the crowd waiting in line and remembered me and Vague Space (somehow) and asked why we were there so early for the festival and someone, maybe me, shouted "We love you Spencer!" and he smiled.  I have issues.  Anyway, Spencer Krug and Siinai start their first leg of their U.S. tour this week in Detroit.  They've announced a second leg with west coast dates and have a new video for the track "Faraway Lightning" off Heartbreaking Bravery [...]

Epic Video from Moonface "Faraway Lightning", the latest single off Moonface 's Heartbreaking Bravery , has a new music video.

It's perfect for the ominously-brooding track, which features the backing of Finnish post-rock outfit Siinai . Check it out! Buy :: Moonface - With Siinai: Heartbreaking Bravery (Jagjaguwar)

In Moonface' s music video for "Faraway Lightning", artist/director Marsha Balaeva offers a mythical interpretation of mourning. Speaking with MTV Hive , Balaeva said she intended to juxtapose the five stages of grief with the trials of the clip's winged protagonist, who struggles to adapt to a series of increasingly fantastical realms and let go of what he's left behind. Follow him down the rabbit hole when you click play below. Moonface’s latest LP, With Siinai: Heartbreaking Bravery , is out now via Jagjaguwar. In further support of [...]
