Swan Lake is a Canadian indie supergroup comprising Carey Mercer of Frog Eyes, Daniel Bejar of Destroyer and The New Pornographers, and Spencer Krug of Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, and Frog Eyes. Originally playing under the moniker "Thunder Cloud", the group changed it to Swan Lake after discovering the previous name was already taken. [ Matthew Solarski, [http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/2006/03/28 "Exclusive: Mercer, Bejar, Krug Join Forces as Swan Lake"] , PitchforkMedia.com, March 28, 2006.] The band released their debut album "Beast Moans" on November 21, 2006 through Jagjaguwar.

In a Pitchfork interview, Krug stated that the band would be going into the studio in February '08 to record the follow up to "Beast Moans". [Jason Crock, [http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/45389-interview-sunset-rubdown "Interview: Sunset Rubdown"] , "Pitchfork Media", November 15, 2007.] Even more recently in an interview with Bejar, when asked about the possibility of recording the new album in February, he stated, "It is an extremely distinct probability." [BrooklynVegan Mike, [http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2008/01/an_interview_wi_22.html "An Interview with Hello, Blue Roses (Dan Bejar & Sydney Vermont)"] , BrooklynVegan.com, January 29, 2008] On May 21, Spencer Krug confirmed in an interview for Burst Radio that the album had been recorded and was just waiting to be mixed by indie rock personality John Congleton.
