Sunset Rubdown (no, not a massage parlor in Mississauga) is my newest addiction. First discovered on the wonderfully rich AjiSignal - a place blogging site for indie music - I’ve fallen in love with the album and have recommended it to everyone I can.

There’s a line in the Pitchfork review that is so true and explains how Random Spirit Lover almost forces me to break one of my rules of new music:

Random Spirit Lover’s songs have verses, choruses, and bridges like most other pop/rock songs, but they’re so architecturally complex and harmoniously joined that the boundaries between them become erased. In a song-driven era, Sunset Rubdown is making a strong case for the album.

Check out the album, if you like indie rock you’ll like the album (there’s a reason it’s at the top of my Music of the Moment widget).

Sunset Rubdown

Welcome to the conversation.

Hi, I'm Fraser and this is my personal site where I write about the things I'm interested in: start-up strategy, the web, music, and life.

My days are spent commercializing emerging technologies. Currently I'm helping to deliver the promise of semantic web to the consumer market at AdaptiveBlue. Previously I was at Trivaris, a Canadian seed stage investment firm.

I am a co-founder of Innovation Night, a community driven event supporting entrepreneurship in Canadian and US cities.

Here's what I'm doing right now:
