Handsome Furs is Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade) with his fiancee Alexei Perry, a poet and writer of short fiction.

Dan describes Handsome Furs as: "Me and Alexei and a beat box, some keyboards and some guitars. It kind of sounds like the first Jesus And Mary Chain record... It's basically Wolf Parade without the guy that everyone likes, and no real instruments."

The duo formed in 2006, and have been summarised as dark and minimal, while also noisy and earnest.
