Wednesday the Handsome Furs return to Off Broadway with Magical
Beautiful and US English. Preview from the RFT and Kelsey Whipple:
Dan Boeckner's voice and sensibilities have so long been tied to Wolf
Parade that listening to his current main project, Handsome Furs,
usually involves imagining Wolf Parade's take on the same idea. That,
however, is a mistake — and not only because the former band is on a
prolonged hiatus. Handsome Furs finds a softer, more broken side of
Boeckner as he and his wife, writer Alexei Perry, combine and convert
dilapidated electro-pop into often melancholy but always enthusiastic
projections of personal and global issues. The band's third and
latest, Sound Kapital, births a collection of lyrics about a 2010 trip
to Myanmar into a sprawl of passionate sound to remove the word "side"
before its role as Boeckner's latest project.
8pm show $12
