Spencer Krug's Moonface

Post Author:
Moonface

Spencer Krug is in three bands (Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown and Swan Lake) and sometimes he plays in Frog Eyes. You'd think the man hasn't the time nor energy for a solo project, but you'd be sorely mistaken.

Krug's solo is a departure from naming his records after 80's sci-fi films. Moonface is a medical condition of facial swelling. It's also a Jack London short story. Pick your preference as to Krug's intentions. The Moonface album, in digital format, is a free download with the option of donation. We made a small donation because we care, sorta – Tis the season and all.

While you're waiting on the download, ours took an hour (WTF), be sure to read Krug's diary of dreams dreamt. There's a great one that involves a 13 hour-a-week job breaking ukuleles in a shed, while young boys shoot a potato gun at him, but always miss. It really picks up when he sees a Hasidic Jew funeral.
