Handsome Furs

Summary: The duo of Handsome Furs , comprising Montreal residents Dan Boeckner ( Wolf Parade ) and his wife Alexei Perry , began as an idea in the winter of 2005. Dark and minimal while noisy and earnest, the point was to be as sparse and repetitive as possible with the help of little more than vocals, guitars, and a new drum machine. The band's name comes from the title of a short story that Alexei was writing at the time of band's conception.
