handsome furs

today a track from one of my favorite duos of the year, handsome furs, and features another pretty uncommon chick name. this time, its evangeline. the only person i can think of with this name is evangeline lilly. and she makes me think of another chick name….damn gina! the husband and wife duo just has such a simple method that produces such a great sound. and after seeing them perform live, i can tell that they would be awesome to party with, always a plus.

this song follows the formula of a lot of their songs, but when you listen to the album as a whole, it sounds anything but formulaic. it starts out with a harsh and minor sound, and then near the end of the song, it opens up with a nice warm fun major sound. and if you listen closely to the lyrics, there are quite a few of us who wish that we were the “you” in this song, with evangeline lilly playing “evangeline”.
