Live: Sunset Rubdown @ The Echoplex

One of these days, I'll do a lengthy sit-down interview with Spencer Krug and discover exactly why my favorite songwriter of the last decade is the exact antithesis of what I typically gravitate towards. Maybe it's because we're both Alex P. Keaton aficionados? I like the sometime Wolf Parader's singing voice, but I'd be lying if he didn't occasionally sound like a bleating billy goat. His songs are full of knotty art-rock pretensions and regularly boast patently absurd titles. If loving an album called Dragonslayer is wrong, then I want to be right.
Unfortunately, I will again reiterate that Spencer Krug is worthy of any and all attention he receives. If anything, the 8.3 BNM the Fork gave Sunset Rubdown's new jaunt is probably a bit low for my tastes. Predictably, I rave about their recent Echoplex performance at Pop and Hiss. If you need me, I'll be listening to Ironman to wash the indie out my ears--yes, this shit is raw.
