Sunset Rubdown - Dragonslayer (2009 Jagjaguwar)

Photobucket

This is the fourth LP from Canadian band, Sunset Rubdown. For those of you that aren't familiar with them, the band started as a solo project for Spencer Krug of Wolf Parade. The group eventually grew to include the likes of Camilla Wynne Ingr(Pony Up!), Jordan Robson-Cramer (XY Lover, Miracle Fortress and Magic Weapon), and Michael Doerksen (Deep Sleepover). While Krug remains the main songwriter, the others definitely have a significant amount of input. This album definitely seems a bit less playful than the others, but that's not a bad thing by any means. It's easy to pigeonhole Sunset Rubdown as just a side project, but I feel like they've matured a lot over the years and hold their own as a real band.
