Sunset Rubdown @ Stereo, 10 Sep

With his fire so congested with irons, it’s a wonder Spencer Krug even manages to make it on tour. The Canadian workhorse, who came to many peoples’ attention as half of Wolf Parade’s acclaimed songwriting team, has gone on to arguably greater successes with his ‘side-project’, Sunset Rubdown. Their 2007 breakthrough Random Spirit Lover was a fine effort, but there was always a feeling that there was more in the tank. Follow up Dragonslayer is already being touted as one of the year’s best and it really is breathtaking stuff. Epic, eclectic and electrifying: here’s hoping their Glasgow date this month can lay claim to similar adjectives.
