Sad news, from Facebook:

“With a heavy heart the time has come to let all of you know that Handsome Furs are no more.
The most important thing that needs to be said right now is how extremely grateful we are to all the fans all over the world that showered us with love and support over the years. Thank you for everything! It’s been an incredible 6 years and we owe it all to you.”

KLYAM was fortunate to attend a pair of Furs shows, check out the reviews:

2011 @ Brighton Music Hall
2009 @ Great Scott

I really was into their sound — it was totally unique to me at first listen seeing as I wasn’t too familiar with electro. Dan and Alexei crafted some extremely catchy songs and were a sight to see live. The music lives on, of course, so check it out if you haven’t.
