Moonface began in 2010 as a solo project of Montreal, Canada multi-instrumentalist Spencer Krug. Krug was at that point perhaps best known as the pianist, singer, and a primary songwriter for indie bands Wolf Parade and Sunset Rubdown, but has also logged time with Frog Eyes, Swan Lake, Fifths of Seven, and more. The songwriter used Moonface as an outlet for his dark pop and melodious experiments that didn't fit with any of his more collaborative projects. The project debuted in recorded form with 2010's Dreamland EP: Marimba and Shit-Drums on Jagjaguwar, followed the next year by the full-length Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I'd Hoped. Moonface's second album, Heartbreaking Bravery -- recorded with Helsinki band Siinai -- was released in 2012. ~ Fred Thomas
