"And how did you get here?"

Handsome Furs - Face Control
My Thoughts: Love More (<3)+

I don't know how I've been keeping myself from reviewing this album, because I've been rocking it for a good 3 months now it seems. Handsome Fur's first album was all fine and good, but I have a feeling the only reason I really liked it was because of Dan Boeckner's involvement in this band and Wolf Parade. This album, from start to freakin finish is one of the hippest, sunglasses-at-night-wearingest, party til you continue to party albums of the year ... at least in my mind. It's electrotrashy with a dash of indie rock to soften the edges. There's a nice, sexual, strange simplicity to the record that is undeniably engaging, like the chorus of Legal Tender, which ... well you just have to hear to believe. Quite the raucous experience.
