Fufanu

Few More Days To Go

Fufanu follow up their 'Adjust to the Light' EP with their full-length debut, 'Few More Days To Go'.

Formerly operating as techno/ electronic duo, Captain Fufanu, while Kaktus and Gulli were still in their teens, with the addition of live instrumentation - and the band name shortened to a more economical Fufanu ("the Captain was left behind at a rave in Cologne") - the pair began working up a dark, metronomic take on 70s and 80s European music. If clangorous metallic guitars and floor shaking syncopated bass are key key elements in the band's powerful circumspect post-punk, then the live show with it's MBV-like furnace blasts of volume is a game changer: The mordant wit suggested by song titles like Plastic People and live opener Goodbye can shift up into thrillingly cold malevolence, fronted by 'slyph-like' singer Kaktus Einarsson's magnetic stage presence.
