MP3: Moonface – “Teary Eyes and Bloody Lips”


MP3

Spencer Krug’s Moonface project will release a new album, With Siinai: Heartbreaking Bravery, on April 17th. Krug recorded the album in Finland with Helsinki-based kraut-rockers Siinai, whose previous incarnation Joensuu 1685 toured with Krug’s Wolf Parade in 2009.

Krug’s previous release, Moonface’s Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped, had its high points but ultimately suffered from filler, just barely cracking our Top 50. Still, his work with Sunset Rubdown and Wolf Parade in the past has been exceptional, and with new Moonface track “Teary Eyes and Bloody Lips” he seems to be back on track. It’s a fun and concise (for Krug’s standards) effort that evolves from swift guitars to a glowing anthem, with a finale that hearkens back to the gems on Sunset Rubdown’s Random Spirit Lover.
