As a Wolf Parade fan, I was curious about the release of another album from
Handsome Furs, the husband and wife duo comprised of Wolf Parade frontman Dan Boeckner and his wife Alexei Perry. When I tracked down one of the new songs,"Damage," I was stunned to find out that it was as immediately appealing as anything I had heard Wolf Parade done prior.
Sound Kapital, is a frenetic masterpiece. Building on their previous two releases (2007’s Plague Park and 2009’s Face Control) the Furs’ continue to evolve their sound; the pulsing drum machines and fat squiggly synths are still here, but louder in the mix and seem to have more of an urgency, while the atmosphere is decidedly less weary.

Sound Kapital, I feel like I can wrap my head around the project from a new perspective. Now, the fun part… going back to listen to their first two with these new ears.
Sound Kapitalwill be available to stream on demand from June 21 through July 20, 2011. The album will be released on Tuesday, June 28, 2011.
