Song Review
Today’s track is another gem from the Montreal indie/electronic-rock husband/wife duo of Dan Boeckner and Alexei Perry, otherwise known as Handsome Furs. Radio Kaliningrad can be found as the closing track to the band’s sophomore full-length album Face Control, released via Sub Pop Records in March of 2009. Music fans will likely recognize Dan Boeckner as one-half of the two-headed monster known as Wolf Parade, or digging even deeper, as the front man of the now defunct British Columbia indie-rock act Atlas Strategic. For more from Handsome Furs, and the latest album, we’ve also posted the first single from the album below.
You are my only mansion
My home on the other side
On the other side
There’s no one ask you about
Your voice on a broken wire
You had to wait outside
You had to wait outside
Radio Kaliningrad, maybe you were becoming mine
Radio Kaliningrad, static on a broken wire
The filth so isolated
On this 1955
I had to wait outside
We never separated
Both in the capital
You know I kept the love
Like a fire.
We never said goodbye
We never said goodbye.
Radio Kaliningrad, maybe you were becoming mine
Radio Kaliningrad, static on a broken wire
I know you love me, baby
I know the horror is just a little trial
You can wait outside
We all are just waiting for
The futuristic radio slipping
In the hallway in the sky.
You can wait outside
You can wait outside
Oh!
Radio Kaliningrad, maybe you were becoming mine
Radio Kaliningrad, static on a broken wire
My home is you
My home on the other side
My home is you
My home on the other side
On the other side
Wake up the radio in the sky
Wake up the radio, we never said goodbye.
We never said goodbye, bye, bye, bye…
