Spencer Krug – “Cry All Day”

Spencer Krug, he of Wolf Parade and Sunset Rubdown and Moonface and Swan Lake, has a new album on the way. It’s called I Just Drew This Knife, and its origins were a lot more collaborative than you’d expect from an album released under Krug’s name rather than his umpteenth new band name. Krug assembled the songs from the pandemic recordings of his collaborator Eli Browning, chopping them up into new shapes and laying his unmistakable vocals on top. Jordan Koop added lead guitar work, all three continued to tweak the recordings, and then, suddenly, boom. They had an album.
