Sunset Rubdown - Dragonslayer


(sendspace)

Buy

I played this for someone recently whose first comment was "have you heard David Bowie playing with Arcade Fire?" That's kind of all the description needed. Epic, multi-movement indie rock from Montreal, with myth-laced lyrics in one of my favorite voices, the same dude from Wolf Parade. The band consists of Spencer Krug (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Camilla Wynne Ingr (percussion, keyboards, vocals), Michael Doerkson (bass, guitar, drums), Marc Nicol (bass, kimbala), Jordan Robson-Cramer (drums, guitar). The album was released last month.
