What I saw originally as another creative outlet for Krug, seems to be evolving into what could be read as a statement about the 'genius' behind Wolf Parade. I'm probably reading too much into it, and I don't want to infer that Krug is some kind of egomaniac. Of course Krug is an integral part of both bands and their should be some overlap, but I guess it is the evolution of the 'supporting parts'(namely guitar) that bring the style more towards Broekner's playing. As we discussed in the Film School thread, this could be taken in a myriad of other directions. I don't think Wolf Parade is dead, either. I always thought that Sunset Rubdown (listening to their ep's and record) was kind of all over the place and somewhat 'inaccessible'....hearing the live show changed that for me. It was a very cohesive and interesting set that would probably draw more than alienate. I think this is what could pose an interesting dilemma for Spencer Krug. Ultimately, it will probably only help Wolf Parade (you could draw some comparisons to Postal Service helping promote DCFC's rise) I also keep coming back to Alec Ounsworth (solo) vs. Clap Your Hands....here's a guy that just has so many songs flying around in his head, one band/sound simply isn't enough to capture them. (by the way i'm catching Alec live at Joe's Pub next month, which should be a great show. it's the perfect venue for him) yeah, what i was trying to get at, and not sure I articulated, is that the “development” of Sunset Rubdown is moving closer and closer to Wolf Parade.
