Release Notes:
Handsome Furs have been on a musical journey Eastwards: a veritable
travelogue heading through the Eastern Bloc over cold-war synths and
cold-hearted drum-machines. Their debut LP, 2007's Plague Park, was
born in Finland and Estonia. 2009's Face Control rolled through Poland
into Russia. And now Sound Kapital comes along: inspired by Eastern
European synth music, their friends in China, and touring through
South-East Asia.
have gone beyond seasoned travelers or serial touring-act, to the point
where all this journeying has become their metier. "Cheap Music" stands
"Cheap Music," one of Boeckner's most anthemic jams is dedicated to "a
thousand lonely kids making noise in a basement," be they in Bucharest,
Belgrade, Bangkok, or Beijing. It's a rallying cry for the
disenfranchised kids of the East; and Sound Kapital is essentially
authored in honor of them.
"Damage" boils down "Cheap Music"'s sloganeering to even simpler
sentiments, this another tribute to escape via basement shows "fit to
blow," just one that has a one-word hook repeated endlessly. The
"Damage" is to Western alienation, to local systems of oppression, and,
if you stand to close to the speakers, to your eardrums.
People Power in the Disco Hour
It seems like a conscious turn towards the light after the imprisoning
darkness of Face Control, which used its literal journey to portray a
voyage towards the dark heart of Putin's Russia. In some ways, Sound
Kapital feels more simple, with less wrinkles.
But, at its best, the set's people-power anthems double as takedowns of
the state; works both first-pumping and fist-shaking at once. "Bury Me
Standing" is an ode to going down fighting (and drinking) in a "city of
terror" stacked with "socialist tower blocks."
And "Serve the People" is even better: dropping the otherwise-exuberant
LP pace to half-time, the song slowly builds in an evocation of
dissenting groundswell, its insanely-epic four minutes progressing from
a lament for Chinese state control and police crackdowns, to a defiant
stand against them, and, finally, to a proclamation of imminent change.
It's musical freedom-fighting of most unalloyed kind: big and bold and
heartfelt.
