Spencer Krug is probably best known to the world as a former member of Montreal's Wolf Parade. Since that band took a break, Krug has been prolific, to say the very least. In addition to having been a member Frog Eyes, he's currently still a member of Sunset Rubdown and teams up with Dan Bejar of Destroyer fame in the trio Swan Lake. Moonface is more or less Krug's solo project, in which he uses mostly keyboards and synths to make warm, fuzzy pop songs rimmed with a subtle sense of nostalgia. Currently touring in support of his latest effort, Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I'd Hoped, Krug will showcase his panoramic new sound with his usual flair for the winsomely and earnestly dramatic. This is retro-futurist electro-indie pop at its finest.
