Swan Lake, the group filled with overachieving indie musicians with roughly 685,321,431 albums between them, are reuniting to bring us Enemy Mine (name based on the ridiculously so-bad-its-great ’80s sci-fi flick) on March 24 (or March 23 in the UK) from Jagjaguwar. For those of you who have been living on Fyrine IV, the planet the protagonists of Enemy Mine were deserted on, Swan Lake consists of Dan Bejar (Destroyer, New Pornographers) Spencer Krug (Sunset Rubdown, Wolf Parade), and Carey Mercer (Blackout Beach, Frog Eyes). These three fellows, with their indistinguishable gnarly voices, last brought us Beast Moans (TMT Review) in 2006. Think that album was a little overwhelming, too stylistically chaotic? Don't fret: this sophomore effort is being described as a more stripped-down, deliberate approach to collaboration. As Spencer Krug put it, “There's architecture here." Count this TMT writer in as excited!
