Handsome Furs were an indie rock band which formed in 2005 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The band consisted of Dan Boeckner (vocals, guitar) and his wife, Alexei Perry (keyboards, vocals). Boeckner is also a member of the bands Wolf Parade and Atlas Strategic. Handsome Furs have released three albums on Sub Pop: "Plague Park" (2007), "Face Control" (2009) and "Sound Kapital" (2011). The band's name comes from the title of a short story that Alexei was writing at the time of band's conception.
