Biography

Indie rock supergroup Swan Lake features Dan Bejar, Spencer Krug, and Carey Mercer. The collaboration among the three musician friends was a long time in the making; Krug, also of Wolf Parade, has worked on and off with Mercer's Frog Eyes for years, and both are former roommates. Bejar called upon Frog Eyes to be his backing band while recording Destroyer's 2005 opus, Your Blues. Together, they also recorded new versions of songs from Your Blues entitled Notorious Lightning and Other Works. Before 2005 came to a close, the three musicians dismantled their temporary name, "the Songwriters Project," and christened themselves Swan Lake. Their self-produced debut album, Beast Moans, arrived on Jagjaguwar in November 2006.
