Handsome Furs - Plague Park (May 22, 2007)


Handsome Furs is Dan Boeckner of Wolf Parade and his fiancée, Alexei Perry. Each an every track off “Plague Park” seems like an eternal struggle for happiness. A sort of melancholic story that is accompanied by evocative strings and keys, raw drum machine beats and disillusioned vocals that seem written by a restless man whose search for something more is coming to an end. Before they even wrote any songs, Handsome Furs toured Europe and have since opened for the likes of David Cross and Modest Mouse. Recorded at Wolf Parade’s studio, Plague Park is the debut every band wants.

83/100.
