Another busy week here at the shop. I think I’ve inadvertently left the new electronic stuff from last week in the mix with this update, but I think you can read some repeats with little injury. Just as a reminder, we do do Gift Certificates in case your family/friends are asking you what you want. In fact, we just had a nice new design done for the Gift Certificates by Todd Rogers (Teaessare Design; same guy who’s done much work for us in the past including our stickers, sign and a few shirts). I’ll probably do a tease of those once I have some printed on nice stock tomorrow. Once again, our friend Mark has come through with a review which is nice because when we’re busy like this we tend to not get to even thinking about doing a review (thanks again, Mark). So, yea, onto the business of updating.

Review
_________________________
Moonface is a project from Canadian indie musician Spencer Krug, whose credits include Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown and Frog Eyes. Just as the title suggests, Krug’s organ takes center stage, creating a nostalgic 80s-electronic sound backed up by a looping drum machine and his emotional, resonant vocals. On this record, he crafts hypnotic atmospheres that sound suited for underwater levels in 8-bit video games, particularly in the jovial/droll-sounding opener “Return to the Violence of the Ocean Floor,” where the organ seems to complement an elegant coral reef formation. The big standout track is “Fast Peter,” which utilizes a very simple yet energetic and quick-paced hook that really creates a feeling of movement. Each of these five tracks is relatively lengthy (ranging six-and-a-half to eight minutes,) making it easier to focus on and absorb each landscape.
