Easily one of the busiest people in indie rock, vocalist/keyboardist
Spencer Krug of the critically hailed Montreal band
Wolf Parade (as well as part time
Frog Eyes member) leads
Sunset Rubdown, intended to be an additional outlet for
Krug's songwriting and slightly more experimental than
Wolf Parade.
Krug released the first
Sunset Rubdown album,
Snake's Got a Leg, as a solo work in July 2005. It wasn't long until he assembled a full band featuring
Jordan Robson Cramer,
Mike Doerkson, and former
Pony Up! member
Camilla Wynne Ingr. Following a self-titled EP, this lineup released
Sunset Rubdown's second long-player,
Shut Up I Am Dreaming, in May 2006 on Absolutely Kosher. It was followed in 2007 by
Random Spirit Lover. ~ Kenyon Hopkin, All Music Guide
