spen krug has formed a fierce pack of musicians, to uncover a sound of cynicism and whirlwind. swan lake's latest album, enemy mine, is a psychadelic trip through the complex minds of each individual in the group - spen krug, carey mercer and dan bejar.
soft echoes of wolf parade, the composition of each song is filled with a chilling ambience - the lyrics of each song are the focus of each track - an intentional motif for the three men. song-writing, as opposed to jumbled lyrics and distortion.
the influence of bowie is reiterated through their base track 'paper lace' - ziggy stardust - twisty lyrics, and quirky inclines, the track itself is a masterpiece.
the opening track, 'spanish gold, 2044' is a track of chaos. "just connect your poetry and your incantations". now whilst this track is chaotic, it also reflects the relaxed attitude of the group - having fun and making some fantastic tunes.
