I don’t enjoy much choosing favorites, but Ned’s Atomic Dustbin deserves to be called a favorite. I have been listening them since I was 10 or so and never got tired. Somehow I feel that a lot of things changed through the years but Ned’s Atomic Dustbin was there all along, good feeling.
Swan Lake is a joint project of Spencer Krug (Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown), Dan Bejar (The New Pornographers, Destroyer) and Carey Mercer (Frog Eyes). Beast Moans is their debut album.
