New Handsome Furs Video - "Dumb Animals"

Pscyhed we have an excuse to blog about Dan Boeckner's Handsome Furs, the third in a procession of excellent Wolf Parade-related projects Stereogum's fallen for (see also: Johnny And The Moon, Sunset Rubdown). The Handsome band comprises Dan and finacée Alexei Perry, both of whom star in this clip as dinner-party-guests-cum-freak-voyeur-and-bicep-pumper prey. This track kills, but "What We Had"'s crest-fallen, synth folk is the Plague Park star.

Plague Park is out 5/22 on Sub Pop.

"What We Had" is a ridiculously great song. Anything the WP dudes touch turns into gold. That's gold, Jerry! Gold!

my best friend is the girl in black on the left at the table, and i got to see some of it being filmed. super weird. such a strange house. stuffed birds, suits of armor, pictures of the owner with mickey mantle (?). the body builder woman watched me play nintendogs while we sat in the kitchen downstairs. weird.

neat to see it finished though!

that was absolute shit on every level. it's as if someone bet them that they couldn't make a more pithy and obvious david lynch ripoff than "donnie darko". well, they won the bet. what awful fucking dreck. and the song is terrible. i wanna take a pen to that guy's jugular. just absolutely a miserable catastrofuck on all levels. god have mercy on their souls.
