Swan Lake, the project involving members of Frog Eyes, Destroyer, The New Pornographers, Wolf Parade and Sunset Rubdown, have finished recording their new album, according to Spencer Krug.
Krug – who is currently on tour with Sunset Rubdown and getting ready to release new Wolf Parade album At Mount Zoomer (details) - recently revealed as much to Bristol University student radio station Burst.
"Swan Lake just made another record. When it comes out, I don't know,” said Krug. “It hasn't been mixed yet, we just finished the recording.”
Though Spencer Krug’s myriad musical flutterings may bring him to mind before the rest of Swan Lake, the multi-instrumentalist and vocalist was keen to draw applause to less-celebrated bandmates Daniel Bejar and Carey Mercer.
“[Recording] is very deliberately, very outwardly ‘Everyone bring X amount of songs’, and I'll bring a whole song to the project and be like ‘This is what I would like you guys to do on this’, but their styles still get infused into the end result. That's the idea.
“It's a collaboration,” Krug continued, “and we talk a lot in that project about everything, but in the beginning stages, it's very much everyone brings, like, 4 songs. Finished songs."

*Waits for Pitchfork to steal story*
it'd be kinda silly for them to not report it non?
Any transcriptions of the interview? Or places to listen to it again?
Umm...
UMM... Not right now. I doubt there will be a transcript. It hasn't actually been broadcast yet. I'll probably podcast half of it or so, then let people know when it is being broadcast in full.
Hopefully
it'll be better than the first...
I didn't listen
to that album I just pretend it's 3 of my favourite bands at the same time
So I couldn't actually tell you if the first was good or bad.
But I'm ready for another.
These guys
never stop. I love them :-)
Beast Moans had its moments, but they should be able to top it pretty easily given the quality of their respective other bands.
I thought Beast Moans was
excellent.
From that whole camp only second to Apologies to the Queen Mary.
Me too
Me too. Really hope that this is a better effort than the new Wolf Parade. That's just a bit disappointing.
