handsome furs

Handsome FursYes, uncreative title this time. I'll make up for it by posting pictures. But yeah, this post is about Handsome Furs, which is great. The act is associated with Wolf Parade, connected by Dan Boeckner, guitarist/vocalist in Wolf Parade and basically the same in Handsome Furs, though supported by his wife. Boeckner is the one with the lower and grittier (I think) voice in Wolf Parade, doing the vocals about half the time.

Plague Park Album CoverI think Handsome Furs is a good associated act for Boeckner, since he can sing for the whole album instead of just half, and he has quite a distinct voice. The general feeling of Plague Park (the album) is similar to Wolf Parade material, though I think there are a bit less vocals in Plague Park. It's also possibly a bit more sparse and electronic, though that's definitely up for interpretation.
