"Hounds of Love" is a Kate Bush song, and the Futureheads put their own version of it on their self-titled album in 2004, with Paul Epworth producing. It came with a serious pedigree: Bush wrote it at home early in the sessions for her fifth album, which shares its name, and it went out as that record's third single in 1986.
The lyric chases a single idea hard, a person on the run from a pack of hounds standing in for someone running scared of love itself, and the Futureheads keep that panic right at the front.
