MORE ON THE MAD MAN IN THE BASEMENT

I know I just wrote on Sunset Rubdown last week but popsheep has a post on a new ep by the Wolf Parader. So what's the appeal? I've always found Wolf Parade to be battling their influences a bit (either Modest Mouse or Frog Eyes), and only a few times shine on their own. With Sunset Rubdown on the other hand, Spencer Rubdown seems to be offering something unique with Sunset Rubdown, in that there's still this sense of experimentation and madness that has been smoothed out to an unfortunate extent with Wolf Parade. Not that Wolf Parade's work isn't any good, I just find Sunset Rubdown to be an interesting direction taken by one of their members.
