The new Moonface record not only features a simple display of Spencer Krug’s vocals against his incredibly refined piano playing, but it’s also the Canadian singer-songwriter’s most personal record yet.
Electronic music producer Evian Christ takes to bangers like a duck to water on this new beat of his, “Salt Carousel,” which is set for release on his Waterfall EP. Look for that early next year. Check out a review for his Kings and Them compilation below:
