Handsome Furs - Plague Park (Sub Pop, 2007)

Fuck Wolf Parade. Handsome Furs are the only Dan Boeckner project I need. Unlike other husband-and-wife duos (such as Mates of State), Handsome Furs steer clear of sentimental, lovey-dovey pop songs. Instead, Plague Park's distinctive electric timbre provides a refreshing take on indie rock.

Stand-out track: "Hearts of Iron"
