EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD: The Feeling of Love - Brown Liquor + Dad Is For Eat, Mum Is For Die + You Rock, You're Seventeen...

As much as old dudes in suits love to crack on France, we have a lot to thank them for. French Kissing, Catherine Deneuve, la Resistance (to a number of bad wars), a President whose wife has posed topless on more than one occasion, over 1000 kinds of cheese and song titles like "Dad Is For Eat, Mum Is For Die," and "You Rock, You're Seventeen, You Should Kill A Ten Year's Old Kid." Those last two are from France's the Feeling Of Love, a two/three piece depending on the day you find them that like Pussy Galore, the Oblivians and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion as much as they like saying "pussy," making an unholy racket and making you wonder, 'wait, did they really just sing "Rapeman Blues?'" And the answer is yes. They did. And they're just getting warmed up.

Taking the blues and running them through shards of glass and then dumping acerbic wit all over it, the Feeling of Love take a genre that's been practiced for ages and flexes some French love muscle all over it. "Brown Liquor" chugs along so convincingly that you almost forget you're listening to just a guitar and drum. "Dad is For Eat, Mum Is For Die," starts with a fun little carousel organ riff and dissolves into a snarling mess just when you think you've figured out where the song is going and "You Rock..." takes the Kills drum machine and really sexes it up. The Feeling of Love have done one tour of duty through the States, have released a handful of 7"s and an LP and somehow are still managing to fly under the radar. Maybe America isn't yet ready for the Feeling of Love eruption...bunch of pussies.
