Dan Boeckner last crossed our blogpost entry template with his song-making turns on the standout tracks from the Mohawk Lodge’s Wildfires, though his Handsome Furs project (with fiancĂ©e Alexei Perry) has received ample love before then. Plague Park‘s second video goes for a storyline, like the first, except Dan and Alexei aren’t the focal point; “Dumb Animals” had the couple star as “dinner-party-guests-cum-freak-voyeur-and-bicep-pumper prey,” but this time they’re just our performing artists, sorta like a Marty & Elayne if the Dresden was a sepia-lit coffee shop called 2007. The pair that does the “nervous walking”/can’t get it (i.e. a pickup truck) started are two perfectly creepy actors, replete with pencil thin facial hair, wearing chunky sunglasses at night. But they love each other, and we’re suckers for romance.
