What’s so great about novelty? Sure, it’s exciting to encounter something that seems alien and challenging. There’s an undeniable sense of satisfaction that arises from discovering those little bits of culture that jolt their respective mediums forward. Just as crucially, it’s exciting to feel like you’re being jolted as well. But at the end of the day, most new mutations in the pop culture gene pool fade away with little fanfare.

Nobody does self-flagellation quite like Spencer Krug. Come to think of it, the same can be said of everything Krug does. Depending on whom you talk to, Krug is either the most ambitious, daring songwriter in contemporary indie rock or a self-obsessed drama queen, regurgitating the same faux-poetic images from album to album. I for one fall in the former camp. As the mastermind of Sunset Rubdown, co-captain of Wolf Parade, and a contributor to the Swan Lake triumvirate, Krug has seized a reputation as a wildly prolific workaholic. Over the past half-decade, he’s managed to record over a dozen major releases, each one weird and rewarding in its own way.
