Handsome Furs - All We Want, Baby, Is Everything

I cannot begin to tell you ho much I love this band. So cold, heartbreaking , distant, pulsating, electronic, rhythmic and detached, all at once, blended, drum machined and ground into the essence of the paranoia and disillusionment of our not so distant to the point that it is here and now future. All they want, baby, is everything.

What do we want? Who knows, today there is too much to want. I fancy their first album over their second, mainly because the droning, unbroken mid tempo fatalistic yearning just doesn't seem to cease, despite only being 9 tracks long. And they lives in Montreal. Heck yes.

And just look at them - they actually LOOK like their music. No, I don't mean they look like they believe in their music, that is bullshit. Their stage presence is completely organic, their sound is just so naturally, them. They're stage presence.

Oh and check out their sweet travel log on CNN.

That is all.
