Sunset Rubdown

Indie Rock / Undefined

Sunset Rubdown is largely the work of Spencer Krug. Krug had up until now been more widely known as a primary member of Wolf Parade, whose debut full length "Apologies to the Queen Mary" (Sub Pop) has been enjoying widespread critical and commercial acclaim. Prior to Wolf Parade (and still occasionally in their live line-up), Krug played keyboards with Victoria, BC's sensational Frog Eyes.

Sunset Rubdown started as a solo project of home recordings (the album "Snake's Got A Leg" was released in June 2005 and a forthcoming 5-song EP is due in January 2006, both released by BC label Global Symphonic). While Krug is still captain of the ship, the project has evolved into a full-fledged band effort. The group will record their new album in December at Montreal's Breakglass Studio. The as-yet-untitled effort will be released May 2, 2006 on Absolutely Kosher (and Global Symphonic in Canada), just in time for Sunset Rubdown to support Frog Eyes on a month-long national tour in May.
