Swan Lake's All Fires MP3 Download

Dan Bejar (Destroyer) and Carey Mercer (Frog Eyes) are songwriters, too, you know, but their input is scarcely found in Swan Lake's first released song. All Fires is darkly and delicately powerful, but the melody and quiet tension building is typical of Spencer Krug's Sunset Rubdown. The guitar atmospherics act as the fluttering wires who carry and thaw out the literal acoustic guitar playing and Krug's characteristically grim, yet narrowly hopeful vocals. There are moments of Bejar's raw nostalgia, but I think this song is merely one of Krug's babies. Jagjaguwar was probably just playing it safe by releasing the song that sounds most like the work of the predominantly successful and recognizable songwriter. In this case it just so happens to be Spencer Krug of Wolf Parade popularity. I'm looking forward to the more obvious collaborations between Bejar and Krug, who share a similar aesthetic but assemble it in a very different armory.
