Album Review: Fur Trade - Don't Get Heavy

Bossley’s feather-light touch produces dreamy results that come together best on the ballad, Our Life Starts Now.



Masterminded by Hot Hot Heat's Steve Bays and The Gay Nineties' Parker Bossley, Fur Trade's debut deals a set of feel-good electro pop that never gets too heavy. Each has their own songwriting perspective but the duo work towards creating dreamy electro pop tunes that combine modern beats with the charm of '70s/'80s-sounding pop hooks. Bays brings the dance punk attitude and manages to set things on fire with Burning The Locals. Meanwhile Bossley's feather-light touch produces dreamy results that come together best on the ballad, Our Life Starts Now.
