Wherein You Will Find A Thing That May or May Not Be a "Song"

Furniture Huschle may well be my favorite band that isn't really a "band" and that don't really make "music." I mean, they definitely make music but it is in such a different realm from most other "bands" "music." What's really impressive to me about these "songs" is the fact that somehow they manage to still be catchy. I have been singing to myself "...he's making awful plans you'll get cancer in your hands" for days, almost weeks (this is a line from perhaps my favorite Furniture Huschle song- "Terror Song").

The solitary member of this "band" is Joel Huschle who is also in the great band Wckr Spgt (no I don't know how to pronounce it, however I have been saying "Wicker Spigot" in my head). You can learn more about the both of these bands at this here website.

Perhaps the most accurate assessment of their sound I have heard comes from my roommate who exclaimed upon hearing them for the first time "this sounds like the Mountain Goats mixed with Xiu Xiu- you are an ass you only listen to two types of music." While I take issue with the second half of that statment, I can fully get behind the first half.

Have a marvelous day.
