The Dears - You and I Are a Gang of Losers
Does anyone else have a thing for bands on Arts & Crafts Records, or is it just me? I think that label puts out consistently good bands, and I find it to be pretty exciting.
The Dears are from Montreal and formed in 1995. Their front man, Murray Lightburn, has been compared as a ‘black version of Morrisey.’ He has a very strong, yet sweet voice, with a touch of rasp. I find it comforting to listen to this song.
This song definitely builds, so give it time to grow. Keep an ear out for when the woman starts singing backups.
They are currently recording a new album.
Enjoy!
