So, Sunset Rubdown has officially announced the date of their next album release. The third full-length will be titled Random Spirit Lover, and will be released on the label Jagjaguwar, the same label of another group graced by Spencer Krug, Swan Lake. The album is due to be released at sometime in October. There is still no date announced for the sophmore release by the group that has spawned all of these side-projects, Wolf Parade. The group has said that they are close to finishing recording, so expect a release date soon.
About a month ago, I saw Sunset Rubdown live at Wiux's Culture Shock. (If you remember, Maps and Atlases was another group I was fortunate enough to see there. I have to admit, Sunset Rubdown's show wasn't as good as I would have hoped, but it was absolutely nothing to do with them. The temperature was below freezing, the wind was harsh, and technical difficulties were abundant. Amid the ridiculously unfortunate problems, the band was still somehow able to get off a few pretty good tracks, so it ended up all right. I hope to see them sometime again in concert. Here's a couple of tracks.
