Moonface - Dreamland EP: Marimba and Shit-Drums


Spencer Krug is not one to stay dormant. He seems to always be creating new music with one of his many projects (Sunset Rubdown, Wolf Parade, Swan Lake, Frog Eyes) but now he adds another to the fold with the moniker of Moonface. Spencer tackles things here solo and as the title of this EP (really just one 20 minute long track) tells you there is nothing to be found expect drums and a marimba (possibly the coolest instrument ever). But he makes it work. Within the soundscape he's created using just these instruments, Spencer delivers his great lyrics in his trademark voice all the while making it listenable (and more importantly enjoyable). Fans of Krug will definitely want to sample this as well as those in the search for 20 minute long songs featuring an odd instrument. Shit-Drums is further proof that Krug is not only one of the more proficient artists working today within the indie music scene but at it's forefront.

4.3/5.0
