about

The Luxurious Faux Furs are an enigmatic rock n roll duo based in New Orleans, Louisiana.
They are beloved, mistrusted, idolized, ignored, puzzled over, and derided for their conceptual marriage of quasi-European glamour and droning, swampy rock n roll.

Since their beginning in 2011 (supposedly in New York City), Luxurious Faux Furs have stripped their vision of garage rock down to the bone. Over the course of two LPs and a handful of seven-inches, Jessica-Melain (drums) and Josh Lee Hooker (guitar) approach their music with the howling, elemental minimalism of the Gories and Mississippi Fred McDowell. Yet they also embody the opulent absurdity of 70’s glam rock (a la Cockney Rebel), with stretched out songs, copious “ooh ooh” backup singing, and expressionistic vocals. Their records have been issued by labels in Western Europe, South America, and Memphis, Tennessee.

On their new LP, LIKE A REAL SHADOW (Mandinga Records), the pair maintains their garage squall and dives even further into hypnotic blues riffs and throbbing insistent drum pulse—what one listener called the “car with one square wheel” rhythm. Their choice of cover songs—obscure blues and sanctified numbers—show them moving even further from anything like “listener expectations.”

Do The Get Around LP

SAMF is just dirty & raw with some great punk rock hooks. its a great little song. other standouts for me were Do the Get Around and I'm Your Man. the entire album is enjoyable and fun. I'm even ok with going so far as to call myself a newly discovered Gino and the Goons fan. a few years late on the scene but have been collecting and spinning their vinyl religiously for at least the last 5+ years and i still get excited when new vinyl drops... punkrock1972bp

GINO and the GOONS "Rip It Up" LP
by GINO and the GOONS

supported by 6 fans who also own “Like a Real Shadow”

This record hit me up for beer money outside the bodega. It's loud, it's fast, it's sloppy-- and so are they. Drunk, angry, horny, and kinda stupid may be no way to go through life, but they're not done trying it. This is fun music, and if you're not having fun within thirty seconds of the the needle drop, check and make sure you've got it set to 45 and not 33.3 RPM. marxalot

Kinda like the Damned circa '78 meets Radio Birdman meets Chuck Berry meets The Testors. A bit of The Briefs / Stitches and label-mates Slander Tongue in there for good measure. This is fucking rock n' roll. Buy or die. brantly

Awesome album. The perfect "palate cleanser" as I call it. The hard, grungy, punk rock blasts away all the bull shit in the air like a cleansing flamethrower to clear the field while leaving a lasting impression of the satisfying fumes of burning propane to enjoy with a Montucky Cold Snack while you watch the devastation. 9.1/10 xxdoubledaisyxx
