Moonface

Multi-instrumentalist Spencer Krug is een druk baasje. Als pianist, zanger en liedjesschrijver van Wolf Parade en Sunset Rubdown maakte hij al naam, de talloze andere samenwerkingen en zijprojecten maakten van hem bovendien een geliefde medemuzikant. In 2010 begon hij aan zijn soloproject Moonface, waarmee hij zich richtte op sfeervolle composities en melodieuze experimenten. Bekijk Krug in zijn puurste en meest intieme vorm als Moonface.

Spencer brengt samen met Siinnai op 3 juni het album 'My Best Human Face' uit. Daar heeft Krug het volgende over te zeggen:

"I called this thing My Best Human Face not only because that's one of my favorite lines on the album, but because I sometimes don't know who I am, or if I'm as kind and generous and happy as other people. The title speaks to the vague theme of identity-confusion that is loosely woven into the songs - a reoccurring theme I recognized only after the writing was done. It's a confusion which I think exists for most of us, sure, but that doesn't mean it has to be the campfire in the middle of our circle; we don't have to stare into the flames. It's simply not that important. At end of it all, these are good-time songs, meant to inspire good times in the listener. They were made joyously, with a stubborn love of music at their centre. And while some of the content might be dark or sad, the memories of making these songs brings only gladness and gratitude, and it's their construction, not deconstruction, that I want to celebrate now."
