What a day! First Of Montreal and now Swan Lake? If anyone missed out the first time, Swan Lake is Dan Bejar of Destroyer and the New Pornographers, Spencer Krug of Wolf Parade and Sunset Rubdown, and Carey Mercer of Frog Eyes. Those Canadians just love to cross-pollinate, don’t they?

Sorry again, guys. Here’s a consolation MP3.

CONSOLATION MP3: Swan Lake – All Fires

MP3: Swan Lake – Are You Swimming In Her Pools?
I almost expect supergroups like this to overdo everything. It’s like, we’ve assembled all these great people, so why not have them doing great things all at once? Luckily, the trio behind Swan Lake know that good things are often subtle ones. “Are You Swimming In Her Pools?” is gentle, yet powerful. It’s a restrained fury that only shines through at a few points in a song, but that’s enough to turn this into a winner.
