Weeks later, our initial take on Wolf Parader Dan Boeckner’s project Handsome Furs holds up: Plague Park is a creepy, brooding beast. “What We Had”‘s crestfallen, synth-laden, spaghetti-western folk is our fave from the record. Grab it.
For more Handsome Furs goodness, Dan and fiancée Alexie Perry’s vid for “Dumb Animals” is worth the time away from your work project. Plague Park is out 5/22 on Sub Pop.
The Furs have some dates lined up through May, listed after the jump.
05/15 – Toronto, Canada @ Massey Hall,
05/16 – Toronto, Canada @ Massey Hall
05/22 – Providence, RI @ Club Hell
