Sunset Rubdown is a Canadian art rock ensemble that emerged from Montreal as an experimental offshoot of Spencer Krug's primary project, Wolf Parade. Launching as Krug's solo venture with the debut *Snake's Got a Leg* (2005), the project quickly evolved into a full collaborative unit featuring Camilla Wynne, Jordan Robson-Cramer, and Michael Doerksen, establishing a distinctive sound rooted in avant-garde rock aesthetics.
The group is known for their intricate, layered compositions that blend electronic textures with organic instrumentation, creating a densely orchestrated sonic palette. Through releases like *Shut Up I'm Dreaming* (2006) and *Dragonslayer* (2008), Sunset Rubdown carved out a niche within the experimental music landscape, contributing to the broader Canadian art rock movement with their idiosyncratic approach to song structure and production.
