SUMMARY:Handsome Furs\, Dri\, The Cinnamon Band
DESCRIPTION: Handsome Furs are not a message band and they are not pol
	itical\, but Handsome Furs are a message band and they are political.

	 feeling as human and alive and wide-eyed as you should be every singl
	e morning. These are not concept albums\, but there are concepts: Plag

	jagged and pure landscapes\, the melancholy yet hopeful air of April s
