New Handsome Furs - "What We Had"

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.

Handsome Furs - "What We Had" (MP3)

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
05/23 - New York, NY @ Mercury Lounge
05/24 - New York, NY @ Mercury Lounge
05/25 - Philadelphia, PA @ Khyber
05/26 - Hoboken, NJ @ Maxwells
05/27 - Cambridge, MA @ T.T.The Bears

Hey guys I'm really good friends with alexie's brother Nathan. He told me about your up coming show at Jimmy Jazz in Guelph on the 22nd of December. Can't wait to see your show live I'm sure it rocks. Till then TAKE CARE.
