No other Jagjaguwar band has fans like Sunset Rubdown. They organize forums, facebook pages, and comment all over blogs shouting the praises of Spencer Krug and his band. After we released the mp3 for the first single from Dragonslayer, “Idiot Heart”, we were most impressed by the fan criticism online. Some of our favorites:
“I am literally shitting my pants with excitement. Be glad you’re not here.” – Armyofwires, Stereogum
“Spencer has matured as a songwriter. For the “fans of Sunset Rubdown’s first record [who] might be a little confused/let down,” why don’t you STFU, because as great as the early stuff was, he’s not going back. Shut up and listen.” – IA, You Ain’t No Picasso
“Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and did I say yes? How about hell yes?! You can really hear the “live” vibe that Spencer is talking about going for in the new album. I can’t believe he is dissatisfied with RSL though, it is a freaking masterpiece! Can’t wait to hear the rest!” – Kelly, Oceans Never Listen
Sunset Rubdown will hit both coasts and drive-over states this summer. Go HERE to see the full list of dates.
