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.
