The Crystal Furs are a queer indie jangle pop band from Portland, Oregon, writing melodic, retro-flavored pop songs about anxiety, architecture, and lesbians. We’re comprised of lead vocalist & guitar player Steph Buchanan, keyboard player Kara Buchanan, and bass player Rowan Church. Our most recent album, Beautiful and True, is on digital/vinyl/CD from Reckless Yes.
Why we selected “Bang and Blame”:
"We wanted to try a Monster song because it’s a little outside of the jangly pop material we typically do. “Bang and Blame” is our collective favorite track off Monster, and as we sat with it to start work on it, we started to hear it with a little more of a torch song influence, especially vocally, so we wanted to bring out that side of the song. We wound up in this sort of torchy indie grunge pop direction, which was so much fun to do."
