Wolf Parade may be done (or the more politically correct “on indefinite hiatus”), but their members have never had trouble working out their creative energies: along with WP side projects like Sunset Rubdown and Frog Eyes there’s former vocalist and guitarist Dan Boeckner’s Handsome Furs side group with wife Alexei Perry. Their new album Sound Kapital was released this past week to critical acclaim, with a heavy emphasis on keyboards over guitars. “When I Get Back” is the record’s opening track and makes a good case for the band’s new direction. For the first time in three albums, Handsome Furs sound more like their own group than just another Wolf Parade vanity project, and that’s a good thing for everyone involved.
