Handsome Furs will release new album Sound Kapital on May 28th via Sub Pop.
Husband and wife duo, Dan Boeckner and Alexei Perry, recorded the album at their Montreal studio with keyboards on their mind. It’s the first Handsome Furs record written exclusively on keyboards. They wanted to prove that electronic music was still able to convey more feelings than just detachment.
They’ve offered album track “What About Us” as a free download. Check that out below:
