Minimal, erratic, dance friendly. These are a just a few of the many labels one could pidgin hold to Sound Kapital, the new album from husband and wife rock duo Handsome Furs. But perhaps the most accurate adjective would be bold. From the naked lady album artwork to the aggressive guitar and synth club beats, nothing about the latest offering from Handsome Furs is passive.

It starts with the robotic drum and bass beats of album opener "When I Get Back" and continues all the way to the hyper tempo speed of "No Feelings".  Sound Kapitol is a roller coaster ride of industrial dance music. According a press release, the inspiration for the third full-length came from the sounds of late 80's eastern European dance clubs. Like their previous work, the album's sound is larger than the size of the band. It's simple, but very expansive, exploring every sonic territory imaginable between high pitch guitar leads and rumbling dream machine noises.

This album might not be the best choice for someone unfamiliar with the band (that would be Face Control) but for those already acquainted, this album proves the band is still reaching for new highs.
