as another reviewer said, if you like arcade fire then it's a safe bet that you'll like this tooFree Music Review: Best of 2006
Hit: 4 Stars
To me this is one of the most underrated albums of 2006. Krug and Co. seem to be growing with each new album. Compared to the SR EP, which is an odd little gem in itself, this album has a much more powerful feel. Krug's eractic yelp rollicks along atop swirling keyboards, pounding drums, and explosive guitar runs. Certainly a strange and beautiful album. Personal favs - "Us Ones In Between" "Stadiums and Shrines II"Free Music Review: Excellent?!
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this album. If you like Wolf Parade, then I highly recommend this album as its complement.Free Music Review: Wolf Parade is radical...
Hit: 4 Stars
If you like wolf parade you'll like this album...I like spencer's voice, I don't know why but it reminds me of david bowie. Free Music Review: More than a side project...
Hit: 4 Stars
I found out about this group the same way that many others most likely have: I listened to Wolf Parade, wanted more and realized that singer/songwriter/keyboardist Spencer Krug had another band.
That band is Sunset Rubdown and while it is quite different than Wolf Parade (it's softer and more musically sparse), it still contains the unmistakeable love-or-hate vocals that Krug supplies for both groups. But if you loved Krug's somewhat-strained delivery on Wolf Parade's Apologies to the Queen Mary then you'll likely enjoy this side project of his.
The album does need quite a few listens for it to really grow on you but I instantly loved such tracks as "Us Ones In Between" with it's cryptic and poetic lyrics and it's simple piano melody. "I'm Sorry I Sang On Your Hands That Have Been in the Grave" has a wonderfully eerie, carnival-like, music-box esque charm to it that makes it stand out from the rest of the album. And finally, "The Men Are Called Horsemen There" and "Snakes Got a Leg III" give the album its most musically intense moments.
I have to mention that Sunset Rubdown also has an LP and an EP that were released prior to this. I absolutely love the EP. I highly recommend trying to find it and if you do - buy it! It has 5 tracks and they are all fantastic. I especially love "Three Colours". While "A Day in the Graveyard" parts I and II are probably the two best songs written and recorded by the band.
