Just because Spencer Krug released a marimba and shit-drums EP and likely has a leg up on his next four releases does not mean he’s done mining the labyrinthine depths of his last LP for artworks the rest of us can lazily (yet totally accurately) label “epic.” The closing song to last year’s Dragonslayer is [...]

Last year, Sunset Rubdown announced a reunion tour, marking the first time that the Spencer Krug-led project would perform live in just about 14 years — the band broke up soon after releasing 2009’s Dragonslayer. That tour kicked off in Montreal on Thursday night and is currently making its way through Canada before heading t...

Sunset Rubdown are back. Wolf Parade’s Spencer Krug started Sunset Rubdown as a solo project in 2005, and it quickly expanded into a full four-piece band. Within a few years, the group released four albums. The most recent of them was 2009’s Dragonslayer. The same year that Dragonslayer came out, Sunset Rubdown broke up; they...

Wolf Parade feels like a supergroup because it’s easy to forget it was this project that initially shined an extra light on Sunset Rubdown, Handsome Furs, Swan Lake, etc. I mean, for people with short memories. At some point the guys paused from stringing for CNN to get going on the third official Wolf Parade [...]

Skeletons are to indie rock videos in '09 what bootie girls are to hip-hop clips forever. I have no idea what this means (eat a sandwich?), but it's a motif we've seen in one form or another via Fever Ray, Mi And L'Au, Pictureplane, Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Abe Vigoda, and we'll stop there.

Says Mark 'The Nuc' Nicol, "My heart started back up after the electrical shock. I woke up feeling like I was suffocating and was delirious. Then I passed out for an hour, woke back up and saw the hair singed on my leg. Only then I knew." Check the gnarly burn.
