Ep. #1093: Spencer Krug

Spencer Krug returns to discuss his excellent new album, Same Fangs, local pigs under duress and songs inspired by animals, sharing early and in-progress versions of his new songs with his Patreon subscribers, philosophical notions of what songs actually are, parasocial interaction and the increased intimacy between creators and fans via crowdfunding sites, the ups and downs of Sunset Rubdown and its uncertain current status, feeling a profound sense of sadness and hopelessness about the suffering of others and how that can affect your relationship with your family, the trick of acquiring geopolitical knowledge, information, and news and knowing what to do with it to affect positive change, the reality and the internet, his Wolf Parade colleague Dan Boeckner’s political outspokenness as a prolific poster, his reaction to the Wolf Parade song “I’ll Believe in Anything” featuring in a key scene from the show Heated Rivalry and the ensuing popularity of both, updates about new Wolf Parade music, forthcoming solo show dates and performance configurations, other future plans, and much more.
