Jagjaguwar to Release SUNSET RUBDOWN’s “Random Spirit Lover” in October
With as many as twelve tracks, and featuring many of the songs the Montreal band performed on their most recent North American tour with XIU XIU, a tentative track-listing for their new album has emerged:
The Mending of the Gown
Magic vs. Midas
Up on your Leopard, Upon the End of your Feral Days
The Courtesan has Sung
Winged/Wicked Things
Colt Stands Up, Grows Horns
Stallion
For the Pier (and dead shimmering)
The Taming of the Hands that Came Back to Life
Setting vs. Rising
Trumpet, Trumpet, Toot! Toot!
Child-Heart Losers
“Random Spirit Lover” is the new full-length record following their critically acclaimed 2006 album, “Shut Up I Am Dreaming”, that was released on Absolutely Kosher. Plans are in the works for a 3 to 4 week North American tour in October, in support of “Random Spirit Lover”. The album will be physically released in both the CD and vinyl formats.
SUNSET RUBDOWN began as the solo project of Spencer Krug. After the release of his first solo album, Krug enlisted the help of Michael Doerksen, Camilla Wynne Ingr, and Jordan Robson-Cramer, all residents of Montreal, Quebec. A solo EP was released at the same time as the newly-formed group was preparing songs for “Shut Up I Am Dreaming”. Most recently, they contributed a track to the Xiu Xiu covers and remixes record released by 5RC.
A prolific and talented musician, Krug is also a member of FROG EYES and WOLF PARADE, and, in the fall of 2006, Krug released a highly anticipated collaborative album (with Dan Bejar of DESTROYER and Carey Mercer of Frog Eyes) as SWAN LAKE called “Beast Moans”, which was released on Jagjaguwar. Ingr used to be in PONY UP!, and Jordan Robson-Cramer is currently a member of MAGIC WEAPON and MIRACLE FORTRESS.
