Sunset Rubdown is a canadian alternative-indie rock band formed in 2005 by Spencer Krug, already a member of Wolf Parade. They released 4 full lenght records and 2 EPs so far.
Their first records are good but nothing special to me, while their last record, "Dragonslayer" (2009), is one of the most wonderful things I have ever listened to in my entire life.
Spencer's voice is simply unique and his songwriting skills are more than impressing, the songs' structure and arrangements are also very interesting, with intricate guitar parts and piano melodies.
I think many of you would like this record especially because of its sense of epicness and passion which could be compared, in my opinion, only to Joanna's (Ys in particular).
You should all give it a listen!
