With Flow Child and Phantasmagoria
PJ's Lager House, Detroit
To say Spencer Krug's reputation precedes him is an understatement, or perhaps more accurately, an of-statement. Because "of Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Swan Lake, and Frog Eyes" ubiquitously follow his name wherever he goes. But with Moonface, as Krug notes, you get "Just plain half-old me, in any solo or collaborative projects I'm involved in from now until whenever." Pretty self-effacing for a guy deemed "arguably the most talented songwriter of this generation." You also get songs like "Fast Peter," off of Krug's latest release as Moonface, Organ Music, not Vibraphone like I'd Hoped.
