Description
The groundbreaking British band's eighth studio album and first new album in nearly three decades. Founded by visionary singer/lyricist Richard Butler and his brother, bassist Tim Butler, The Psychedelic Furs are among the most significant and lasting bands of the post-punk era, their remarkable canon encompassing seven milestone studio albums and such classic singles as We Love You, Sister Europe, Love My Way, The Ghost In You, Pretty In Pink, Heaven, Heartbreak Beat, and All That Money Wants, to name but a few. MADE OF RAIN sees the band returning to the fray as relevant and original as ever before, fueled by their always innovative sonic approach and Richard Butler's evocative, masterful songwriting. Produced by longtime associate Richard Fortus (formerly of Richard and Tim Butler's acclaimed mid-1990s band, Love Spit Love, and a current member of Guns N' Roses) and mixed by Tim Palmer (Pearl Jam, U2, Robert Plant), magnificent reiterations of The Psychedelic Furs' distinct, desperate wall of sound, melding haunting melodies and driving rhythms with ambition, aggression, and subversive lyrical power.

Having gone full circle by returning to the simplicity of the creative process on their own terms, the Psychedelic Furs are recording new material for what they anticipate will be their first release since 1991’s “World Outside” album.

“Our music still says something,” says Butler. “Richard’s one of the best rock lyricists of all-time. He also has one of the most distinctive voices.”

“We are actually working on a new album, but we’re doing it on our own time frame,” says Butler. “If we start pressuring ourselves too much, we might get back into the same feeling of not liking the band. We hope to have it out early next year.”

"We hope to have out early next year", really? Hey don't over extend yourselves too much guys, I wouldn't want y'all to upset the creative process or anything like it, LOL. Apologies if I'm coming off as a bit too sarcastic here but does anybody see the ridiculousness of this statement? Seeings how we've just started a brand new year that's not even a week old and they're telling their fans its been a worthwhile project so far but they don't want to push themselves too much here for fear of suffering creative exhaustion. Oh well, GOD speed fella's let those creative juices flow. So I guess if they turn out a whole new album that's a great listen all the way through then the wait will have been well worth it. I'll be keeping my finger's crossed until then!

Huge Furs fan, but when they reformed in 2000 for God's sake, I saw them and they promised a studio album then-ha ha!

I liked the new song on the Beautiful Chaos live album from 2001.

They have played some great new songs over the years and I'm willing to hear an album.

They will be here in Philly later this month I believe.

The very slow-cooked new album by the Furs will finally be coming out in 2020 on the very appropriate Cooking Vinyl label:

Slicing Up Eyeballs was reporting on the new album earlier this week, but it's great to have official conformation and Cooking Vinyl should prove to be a good home for the band.

Here's a clip of the new song (possibly titled "The Boy That Invented Rock and Roll") that's been making the rounds:

The album will be entitled Made Of Rain, and I've added pre-order details to the first post. Here's the first single, "Don't Believe":
