Moonface - Julia With Blue Jeans On

The new Moonface record not only features a simple display of Spencer Krug's vocals against his incredibly refined piano playing, but it's also the Canadian singer-songwriter's most personal record yet.

Moonface - "Everyone is Noah, Everyone is the Ark"

Canadian singer-songwriter Spencer Krug is getting ready to drop a new album under his Moonface project, which I wasn't really excited about until I heard the track streaming above. Why? Honestly, I feel "Everyone is Noah, Everyone is the Ark," has the kind of raw passion and lyrical focus that I've been looking for from Spencer since the last Sunset Rubdown album, Dragonslayer.

The instrumentation on this track is simple, consisting of Spencer's vocals and some grandiose piano chords, but I couldn't ask for more. Hopefully, every track on the forthcoming Krug album will be just as fiery. Julia with Blue Jeans On will be out on Jagjaguwar on October 29th.

Moonface- With Siinai: Heartbreaking Bravery

While it is exciting for me to be hearing singer-songwriter Spencer Krug fronting a band once again on the latest album to come out of his Moonface project, this album, for many reasons, didn't measure up to my expectations.

Moonface- "Teary Eyes and Bloody Lips"

Singer-songwriter Spencer Krug, a man known for his eccentric and drawn-out tunes in bands like Wolf Parade and Sunset Rubdown, has released a new track with his more experimental side project, Moonface. A new album has been announced. The title: Heartbreaking Bravery. It's a collaboration with the band Siinai, and is set to release April 17 on Jagjaguwar.

Siinai is a band that hails from Finland and accompanied Wolf Parade on a tour back in 2009. The song they’ve put out abandons the focus on specific instruments like the previous Moonface releases did with the marimba and organ. This creates a sound that fans of Wolf Parades more pop focused songs should be accustomed to. Krug's lyrics and vocal delivery are as mysterious and abstract as you would expect. This could end up being the album fans have been waiting to hear since the Wolf Parade hiatus was announced.

Moonface- "The Way You Wish You Could Live In The Storm"

MP3

Coming from Spencer Krug himself, a Canadian singer-songwriter known for his work in numerous bands I enjoy, a track from his new Moonface project. The solo effort will be seeing a full-length debut on Jagjaguwar on August 8th.

"The Way You Wish You Could Live In The Storm," is a new Moonface song, but we're only hearing it because it was cut from the forthcoming album. According to a block of text posted with the song, it's "an angry duck that didn't get along with the other songs on the Organ Music LP."

So while this track, in a way, may be representative of where this project is headed, let's keep in mind that there may be major differences between this track and the others on the Organ LP that would keep it from "fitting."
