New Swan Lake record finished, according to Spencer Krug

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."

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.
