Free Music Notes for Random Spirit Lover
Free Music Review: One of the best records ever made.
Hit: 5 Stars
There's nothing out there similar to this.
That the album has gathered such a mediocre reaction from critics is a testament solely to the hysterically dense and over the top nature of the album.
This will be rediscovered at some point, as Moby Dick was over 50 years after publication, and it will be held as a classic of art.
Random Spirit Lover Poster
While Spencer Krug's unique vocals, imagery, and wibble-wobble song structure remain intact, Random Spirit Lover showcases great growth for both he and his band as musicians. Spencer's voice and unique instrumental choices may scare some away, but with repeat listens, you truly see numerous layers to these new songs. The album begins with the same sound you may have come to expect from Sunset Rubdown on Shut Up I am Dreaming and also from Spencer while performing with Wolf Parade. Songs like "The Mending of the Gown" and "Up on Your Leopard, Upon the End of Your Feral Days" feature the same frantic, yelping and infectious lyrics that have become Krug trademarks. The album takes a turn at "Winged/Wicked Things" and slowly grows and evolves into a more refined yet experimental version of a band that has obviously started to discover their identity. The latter half of the album, beginning with "The Taming of the Hands that Came Back to Life," all the way till the last second of "Child-Heart Losers," features the band's best music to date and also the signs of a band that have become their own entity, far removed from Wolf Parade or Frog Eyes. --Aaron SwetnamTheir third full-length features twelve songs that bleed in and out of each other, mixing portents with theatrics, confusions with conversions. "Beyond writing catchy tunes and packing them with whispers, mallets, harpsichord, and patches of cheapskate drum machines, [Spencer Krug's] an intriguing presence. Instead of bubbling along at one level, he roller coasters and raves, mixing nonsense with sharp observations and sadness with puns" - Pitchfork. "Shut Up I Am Dreaming" on Absolutely Kosher SoundScanned over 15,000 copies and earned Pitchfork's "Best New Music" tag.
