The Fat Angel Sings

The more you listen to this collection of songs, the more it develops. Upon first listen, it is almost overwhelming and confusing in how it builds and expands into this beautiful mountain of sophisticated agony via magical melodies, nurtured lyrics. Yet it is clear that there is a strong sense of confidence in how Moonface is continuing to develop as an artist and songwriter Moonface began as Krug alone and eventually expanded to an entire band. After Moonface’s 2012  album With Siinai: “Heartbreaking Bravery” which, as advertised, was made with the Finnish band Siinai, the project was scaled back for 2013’s lonesome, voice-and-piano album “Julia With Blue Jeans On“. Krug’s follow-up to “Julia” is the five-song EP “City Wrecker”, and it operates along the same compositional lines as its immediate predecessor. It was also, like “Julia”, written and recorded in his temporarily adopted home of Helsinki, and it reflects that same sense of frigid displacement.
