"Finding Out True Love Is Blind" comes from The Pink EP, the 2004 release from Louis XIV, and it's a strutting, sleazy slice of glam-rock swagger. Jason Hill and Brian Karscig wrote it together and both play guitar on it, with Mark Maigaard on drums.

Hill ran the whole show in the studio: he sings lead, and he produced, engineered, recorded and mixed it himself, which is why it sounds so tightly wound and deliberately cheap in the best way. Karscig adds his own vocals, and Lindsey Troy drops in as a guest voice, adding one more shade to the tease.
