- Description:
- Sunset Rubdown: Jordan Robson Cramer, Michael Doerksen, Mark Nicol, Camilla Wynne Ingr, Spencer Krug.
Audio Mixer: Arlen Thompson.
Maintaining the adventurous nature that makes Sunset Rubdown Spencer Krug` most ambitious project, DRAGONSLAYER is a tightly woven listen. Third time`s a charm, as they say, and here it seems that Krug has struck that perfect balance between eclectic and poppy. It`s a fine line, but Sunset Rubdown treads it well, never seeming too careful and never stepping on a hook with the combo`s trademark spiraling solos and splintering changes. Although the band deconstructs the typical verse-chorus formula and the songs usually break the five-minute mark ("Dragon`s Lair" exceeds ten minutes), the melodies of "Idiot Heart" and opener "Silver Moons" are instantly memorable, sounding nearly classic. The latter song is a piano ballad with elements of glam rock, that, once again, takes a cue from David Bowie but this time appropriating Ziggy Stardust moves rather than drawing influence from Bowie`s Berlin era. Sure, the music is challenging - it`s complex, musically and thematically. Art rock`s not supposed to be easy. But as carefully crafted as it is, DRAGONSLAYER is the group`s most accessible record yet.
