MP3: Swan Lake: "All Fires"

Wolf Parade and Frog Eyes Kick Off Tour
MP3: Swan Lake: "All Fires"

New Sunset Rubdown! Just kidding--but it sure sounds like it. Nothing about this track from the Canindie supergroup of Spencer Krug (Wolf Parade/Sunset Rubdown), Dan Bejar (Destroyer/New Pornographers) and Carey Mercer (Frog Eyes) sonically separates it from Krug's solo project.

It isn't clear what Bejar's or Mercer's contribution to the song was, but no matter--this would be a standout even on Sunset Rubdown's fantastic latest album Shut Up I Am Dreaming.

"All Fires" comes from Swan Lake's debut album, Beast Moans, due out November 21 on Jagjaguwar.

Check out the pretty album cover:
