Handsome Furs is a synth punk indie rock band formed in 2007 and based in Montreal,Quebec,Canada. [ref]
I got this single from Amazon on a Sub Pop Sampler last year. It was free,but I really quite like it. It’s got a retro feel to it that takes me back to the 80s in a good way,while not leaving behind the evolution music has taken since then. And I like the chorus.
The video for it is disturbing,but good. You can watch it on Vimeo or YouTube,or embedded here:
Freaky,no? But in that quirky Euro-Canadian way that just really appeals to me. I haven’t checked out the rest of their music yet,but I think this song and video is a good introduction to them.
