Handsome Furs

“An album that sounds far bigger than its minimal constituent parts might imply from on-paper confines – each song is crafted using guitar, synthesizers and a primitive drum machine – Plague Park is far closer to the bedazzling indie-rock of Wolf Parade than the chuck-everything-in approach of companion side-project Sunset Rubdown. With the Parade’s Dan Boeckner at the helm, this LP can be summarised, succinctly, as a stripped-back take on the often epic tendencies of the celebrated Montréal act; its appeal is instant, and that voice serves as a sturdy bridge between bands. Listen closer, though, and great rewards await those with patience to burn.” – Drowned in Sound
