The Record:
Dragonslayer by Sunset Rubdown
Spencer can do no wrong, and still continues to create unique, dynamic-furnished records for all the little boys and girls to enjoy. There are a lot of nice things to say about this record that would fall under redundant: Great production, nice guitar tones, lyrics only Spencer knows, and of course, hooky parts that usually leaves one wishing they could be in a band like that. It does however fall a snippet short of the blowing of the mind I’m used to. It may have something to do with Camilla Waynne Ingr’s (keyboardist/vocalist) voice not quite jelling (this time) with Spencer’s beautiful harsh voice in certain parts, or that the record as a whole somehow feels just a hair thrown together. They re-recorded a Swan Lake classic, “Paper Lace,” and slapped that in the middle, to make it a whopping full 8 songs—which was already dangling on the boarder of an EP. But those are only the few “negative” points with the record that caught my attention. It’s a great record still, and worth having in the collection.
