Newman and Malajube, we've got Joel Plaskett, the Great Lake Swimmers, Metric, the Tragically Hip, the Handsome Furs, MSTRKFT, K'naan, and more coming, and now we're definitely hearing from Swan Lake.
If you don't know who Swan Lake is, let's put it this way: you know how a lot of good bands like Wolf Parade, the New Pornographers, and Frog Eyes have that one crazy genius who completely ignores standard music sensibilities and yet still writes ridiculously great songs? Well, Swan Lake is three of those guys, from those exact bands, working together to write ridiculously great songs, only there's no A.C. Newman or Dan Boekner to reign them in.
At this point, I'm so high off of these songs that I can't even begin to describe them except in Haiku form. So here goes:
"Spanish Gold 2044" via Stereogum
Brian Wilson is broken
the jagged ocean crashes in the desert
prospectors rejoice, echo
"A Hand at Dusk" via Pitchfork
a concert hall?
Major Tom has found Stardust
it's a Day in the Life
Enemy Mine comes out March 24. More info about the disc can be found here.
