The Crystal Furs
are a queer indie pop/rock band from Portland, OR. They write melodic, textured songs about anxiety, architecture, lesbians, and queer feels -- loud music for quiet hearts.
In Coastal Light
is the band's fifth album, following on from 2020 LP
Beautiful and True
, and hears them honing their blend of grunge-y riffs and '60s-girl-group vocals. Sky blue vinyl. "Had Portland's (via Forth Worth) The Crystal Furs have been around in the late '80s-early '90s there is a possibility they would have been signed to Sarah Records, home of OG jangle pop bands like
The Field Mice
and
The Sea Urchins
. Then again with their sunny, bright melodies, they might have found themselves riding the charts alongside
The Bangles
." --50Thirdand3rd "It's something of a well-worn expression, that adult life is about 'finding oneself', but it certainly seems for the
Buchanans
, and their band, that all of the changes in their life have enabled them to do just that. And what they've found are winning alt. indie-pop purveyors in the mold of
Helen Love
.
Beautiful And True
is an album whose title could not be clearer: it is what it says it is." --Get In Her Ears "Think of those jangly
C86
tunes mixing genteel harmonies, spiraling keyboards, melodic guitar/bass sounds and wistful vocals and you begin to get the drift here." --Into Creative "From the opening tones of the Farfisa organ on 'Comeback Girls' the lo-fi indie pop shines through, with jangly guitars, unassuming instrumental breaks and a naturalistic production that puts the Furs right there in the room with you." --Cambridge Music Review "Retro without being jaded, cute without being cliched what The Crystal Furs do so well -- and demonstrate deeply on both tracks in this release -- is as we've said pair light, sparkling and downright danceable melodies with dark-hearted lyrics emerging from shadowy inner worlds and harder lived experiences." --Popoptica
