<\/a><\/p>\nIt all started back in 2005, when Dan Boeckner, frontman of Canadian indie rockers Wolf Parade<\/a> locked eyes with a bewitching girl in the audience during a gig in Vancouver. That girl was short-story writer Alexei Perry, and by the end of the night, the two were kissing by the merch-table. Awww.<\/p>\n Planning a romantic vacation around Scandinavia, the lovers had a flash of inspiration: why not form a band, and make a European tour out of it? Nevermind that Perry had no musical training save for a few childhood piano lessons. Boeckner got on the phone with his agent and booked the tour. The couple christened themselves Handsome Furs<\/a>, the title of a short story Perry was working on at the time, banged out a set list of songs in a week\u2019s time, and Perry performed live on synths for the first time ever in Oslo.<\/p>\n The thing is, they didn\u2019t suck<\/em>. And critics are taking notice. Rather than being simply an excuse for an extended honeymoon, the now-married Handsome Furs duo have been earning raves. Now signed to Subpop — the iconic label that helped engineer the success of bands including Nirvana, CSS and Death Cab for Cutie \u2013 the Furs released their first album, Plague<\/em> <\/em>Park<\/em>, in 2007, and followed it up with this year\u2019s Face Control<\/em>. While the inspiration for Plague Park <\/em>was taken from their travels through Scandinavia, Face Control <\/em>draws heavily on their recent trip to Russia. The term \u201cFace Control\u201d refers to bouncers at Russian nightclubs turning customers away based on their physical appearance.<\/p>\n So what do they sound like? Think \u201ca synth-pop pep rally for the damned\u201d (according to Blender<\/em>). Boeckner\u2019s well-honed guitar steez and haunting vocals and Perry\u2019s beats combine to form sounds that are stripped-down yet complex, and straddles a line between crest-fallen and optimistic; at once bleak and soulful. Kinda like marriage.<\/p>\n Split Works<\/a> is stoked to be hosting these nomads on their first Asia Tour \u2013 5 countries, 7+ shows, and hopefully the inspiration for a new album.<\/p>\n
