Dan Boeckner and Alexei Perry's new album...
really, really digging it, and the direction they're heading. When I Get Back, Serve the People, Repatriated all very strong tracks.

Super excited. Hoping to pick this one up after work tonight. Really liked the first one, absolutely adored the second one.

i really love this album - will be in my top five for 2011. Repatriated, Serve the People, What About Us, and When I Get Back are my highlights... Agony is also great (only available as a bonus track on iTunes).

I love them and this album is <3 again as well.
But Wolf Parade, nothing. It just never clicked for me (yet?).

Allmusic's review calls this their debut and mentions the first two albums too.

"Repatriated" sounds great, loved the last album as well. Great live show. A couple yrs ago after seeing them I had a dream that my gf at the time and I *were* this band, recurred at least once within a week too, disturbing.

Incredibly nice people to talk to as well (did so after a show), but then they are Canadian, eh.

Entire album is on youtube just about, this is excellent.

So far, they have failed to make a single track that I don't like. Which is a better average than some of the bands I tend to call my favourites.

Everyone otm although I have to admit that their debut never really clicked with me (nor did wolf parade)

The packaging for the CD version is fantastic, can only imagine how gorgeous it all is on vinyl.

And, no I'm not saying that because of the naked lady on the cover.

Also loving the album version of 'Agony'... d/l'd from iTunes as its an iTunes-only bonus track...

also, 'repatriated' is a great word to have in a song.
also, it has a naked lady on the cover.

Bummer. The most recent album was fantastic:
"With a heavy heart the time has come to let all of you know that Handsome Furs are no more. The most important thing that needs to be said right now is how extremely grateful we are to all the fans all over the world that showered us with love and support over the years. Thank you for everything! It's been an incredible 6 years and we owe it all to you. xoxo HF"
Its hard not to read a lot into the split of a "band" that was a husband/wife duo, but that seems surprisingly upbeat.
