![[LP] Handsome Furs – SOUND KAPITAL (w/ "Repatriated")](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3666408_lg.jpg)
where did the feeling go? i got it back when the plane touched down ♫ Handsome Furs - Repatriated ( previously posted) If you didn't already catch the two teaser tracks from Handsome Furs' latest album then let this act as a friendly slap in the face to get your act together and procure Sound Kapital . "Repatriated" is one of my favorite songs of the year so far and Sound Kapital fleshes out this goodness to 9 full songs. The Furs have kicked up the synth grooves and [...]
Handsome Furs killed it at the Church last night. Alexei Perry is Jawn Of The Week worthy. She looked as hot as Chinatown during a heatwave last night and her spastic leg kicks kept my attention throughout the whole show. Frontman Dan Boeckner's wifey stated that Philly was the only American city she would want to live in. Come on down. Check out the set opener "When I Get Back". Hopefully the Korean population can get over that they cut "I'm Confused" from the set. The show was awesome regardless. More footage to come over on our YouTube page.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 19 As far as husband-wife indie bands go, Handsome Furs might be the best to dance to. The Canadian duo, composed of Dan Boeckner (formerly of Wolf Parade) and his writer wife, Alexei Perry, make indie pop heavy on the synths and keyboards. With their latest album, this year's Sound Kapital , they've moved even further toward electronic beats that are dance-floor ready. More than that, the pair's recent trip to Burma, (where they witnessed the local acts who played in constant fear of the authorities), inspired the lyrics [...]
Handsome Furs are playing the First Unitarian Church tonight. They're gonna run thru old jams like "I'm Confused", as well as the new tracks I've been knockin' on the regular off Sound Kapital . From the looks of it, their live show is pretty basic on stage, but they have a lot of energy and the crowd gets into it. We'll see tonight. Enjoy a classic video. Some horror movie shit. HANDSOME FURS - I'M CONFUSED
Handsome Furs With Wolf Parade on an indefinite hiatus, you'd half expect Dan Boeckner to follow the career path of his bandmate, Spencer Krug, and start afresh under a new moniker. Thankfully he didn't do that. Instead, this hitherto side-project, consisting of Boeckner and Alexei Perry (his wife), has finally received the attention and direction it's deserved since the debut album arrived back in 2007. Sound Kapital is the best Handsome Furs album [...]
Wer sich den Pressetext - oder eine davon abkopierte Rezension - zum neuen Album der Handsome Furs durchgelesen hat, wird als großen Unterschied zu den Vorgängeralben ausgemacht haben, dass es großteils auf Synthesizern komponiert (wohlgemerkt nicht eingespielt) wurde. Wer es tatsächlich mal gehört hat, wird gemerkt haben, dass hier die Gitarre zwar stärker als Textur denn als Melodieriffer verwendet wird, Sound Kapital aber vor allem durch sein Halldimensionierung in einer anderen Liga spielt. Klangen Songs wie Evangeline so, als würde man den beiden beim Spiel in einem Kellerclub oder noch intimerem Rahmen zuhören, [...]

Yesterday was disgusting, today is disgusting, and it's looking like the forecast for the rest of the week is just as bleak.

Have you heard the latest offering from Handsome Furs yet? In my opinion, it's their best to date and with the recent announcement of Wolf Parade's 'indefinite hiatus', its the closest thing to WP that fans can experience. Handsome Furs has always sounded like a dancier, electro cousin of Wolf Parade anyway, but the landscapes explored on their latest album Sound Kapital , should not only help mourning 'Wolf' fans make it through, but carves out a solid place for Dan Boeckner's "side project" moving forward. The band are hitting the Southgate House [...]

![[Electro] Handsome Furs – “What About Us” + “Repatriated&# 8221;](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3622191_lg.jpg)
It has been roughly two months since Wolf Parade announced their indefinite hiatus, and to make up for this tragic loss, it seems vocalist Dan Boeckner and his wife are bringing back their electro punk experiment Handsome Furs . The husband/wife duo has been going at it for about four years now, but it seems like with Sound Kapital —the duo's latest offering—they are no longer a side-project to try new ideas on, but rather its own device capable of standing on its own. "What About Us"—one of the two tracks we're featuring from [...]

Husband and wife duo Dan Boeckner and Alexei Perry, otherwise known as the Handsome Furs , played the second of two shows at the Horseshoe Tavern on Tuesday night. They were joined by fellow Montreal band Parlovr (pronounced "parlour"). Both bands managed to make an already hot Horseshoe even hotter. Parlovr That Parlovr found themselves touring with Handsome Furs -- and, more specifically, Dan Boeckner -- doesn't seem like an accident. One of their songs, "Hell, Heaven," had a guitar part that made the song [...]
Frank Yang What happens when The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart meet the pains of being busted up in shoulder? You take advantage of the fact that said band used an off day on their touring itinerary to play an in-store a day before their official show, so as to avoid having to stand around The Opera House for three hours, possibly/probably looped on meds. Which is basically what happened on Monday night at Sonic Boom. Despite the fact that Pains' self-titled debut was one of my favourites of [...]
