It worries me that Spencer Krug can put out an album as good as Heartbreaking Bravery and have it go largely unnoticed by a swath of the popular blogs. While so many bands — too many, really — are content spitting out simple lyrics about vague, trivial subject matter (summer is fun, we get it), Krug continues to spin widescreen story-songs, swelling and inflating ever so dramatically. And this time, he leaves out the mythological references and Arthurian figures. Here, he's all about the common denominator of heartbreak.
