Handsome Furs Stream New Single; Announce New Dates
You just can't keep the Canadians down
Zombies? Emaciated? Socialists? Metronomic? Maybe just scared of socialists and zombies?
If any of these words interest you, you're probably into Handsome Furs. Lord knows their latest, Face Control, punched us in the stomach in just the right way. Well now the unstoppable Alexei Perry and Dan Boeckner are offering their second single, "Radio Kaliningrad," for free download. Have a listen if you're a fan of 50's pop aesthetics, 80's noise drone, and a guitarist/singer who sounds like a lumberjack in the Redwood Forest on PCP.
If that's not enough, the Canadian power-duo has released a string of new tour dates. Check them out as the amount of energy they bring to the stage is nothing short of precipitously angellic, in that "Azrael descending into Hell" sort of way.
