The Suburbs - Hey Muse! (2017)

The legendary Minneapolis new-wave and punk band The Suburbs, still led by founding members Chan Poling and Hugo Klaers, has spent the past few years building up its live sound with some of the fiercest players in the Twin Cities. Newly bolstered by the addition of the gifted guitarist Jeremy Ylvisaker (Andrew Bird, Alpha Consumer). The group is still tethered to the underground sounds that shaped it in the '80s and spawned the breakout single ""Love Is The Law,"" but its sound is darker, more refined and more pop-oriented than ever.
