Biography

Cold.
Alien.
Unfeeling.

These are but three of the misnomers historically assigned to electronic pop music. Yes, Wendy Carlos accompanied Stanley Kubrick’s dystopian vision of A Clockwork Orange with crude synthesizers, but that was 40 years ago! Forbidden Planet and its unnerving soundtrack by Bebe and Louis Barron haven’t been contemporary since Dwight D. Eisenhower sharpened pencils in the Oval… Read more in Amazon's Handsome Furs Store

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but a step backward, May 7, 2009
This review is from: Face Control (Audio CD)
After their near-perfect first album, this one seems a bit lazy, for lack of a better word. Some songs are so short that they're really just interludes; others are musically and lyrically so repetitive that they're catchy, but not necessarily good. There's also some great stuff on "Face Control", and the whole thing's fairly enjoyable, so the album is by no means a dud. But the incredible, novel sound we got with "Plague Park" isn't really to be found here, replaced instead with straightforward electro-pop that's been done before. They do it well, so I'm not really complaining. Basically it's a good album, but not as inspired or exciting as its predecessor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent album that builds on their foundation from Plague Park, March 16, 2009

HeyG (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Face Control (MP3 Download)
Face Control takes Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade) and launches his musical talent with lovely wife Alexei Perry in a direction that surpasses the musical excellence delivered on Plague Park. This is no side-project, this is raw energy by a duo set on making excellent music. See them live, it is something to witness. On the new album Dan's guitar work is superb while Alexei has mastered her synth/drum machine. Overall, an excellent album from start to finish...download now and see them live!

5.0 out of 5 stars Giant Step Forward, July 29, 2011
This review is from: Face Control (Audio CD)
the first record would rate about 3 stars and had some very nice tracks, but seemed to blend together too much where one song pretty much sounded like the next song, which sounded like the next song, etc.

this record just steps up and track after track hits 'em outta the park.

love it.

and they shouldn't be missed live either.

very gracious, fun, exciting duo.

blown away.
