What’s up with these industrious Canadians? Dudes like Spencer Krug (Frog Eyes, Sunset Rubdown, Swan Lake) and Dan Bejar (Destroyer, New Pornographers) are like the James Francos of indie rock. Must be that universal health care keeping them so robust. So it is with Dan Boeckner. The Wolf Parade guitarist formed Handsome Furs with his wife, Alexei Perry, whose pounding electronic beats meld with Boeckner’s fissured, rasping vocals to form a union that’s at once seductively harmonious and dissonant. If you’ve seen the couple’s racy press shots, you know they understand seduction.
