Gran ritorno per una tra le band più significative del post-punk: a trent’anni di distanza dall’ultimo disco di studio, The Psychedelic Furs pubblicano oggi ‘Don’t Believe’, la prima anticipazione tratta da ‘Made of Rain’, il nuovo e super atteso album in arrivo l’1 maggio (Cooking Vinyl).
A celebrarne la pubblicazione, anche l’annuncio di un concerto molto speciale alla Royal Albert Hall di Londra il 14 maggio, un live che, oltre ai nuovi brani, attraverserà i migliori successi della band, per un appuntamento che si preannuncia già come un evento indimenticabile.
‘Made of Rain’ è un ritorno in grande stile: prodotto da Richard Fortus e mixato da Tim Palmer (David Bowie, U2, Robert Plant), il disco mantiene l’impareggiabile talento che negli anni ha contraddistinto la band, tra originalità, sperimentazione ed azzardo.

Led by vocal and lyrical genius Richard Butler with his brother Tim on bass, The Psychedelic Furs released seven critically acclaimed studio albums – ‘The Psychedelic Furs” (1980), ‘Talk Talk Talk’ (1981), ‘Forever Now’ (1982), ‘Mirror Moves’ (1984), Midnight To Midnight’ (1987), ‘Book Of Days’ (1989) and ‘World Outside’ (1991). They released many classic singles throughout the ’80’s and into the 90’s, including: ‘Sister Europe,’ ‘Love My Way,’ ‘The Ghost In You,’ ’ Pretty In Pink,’ ‘Heaven,’ ‘Heartbreak Beat,’ ’All That Money Wants’ and ‘Until She Comes.’
In recent years the band have toured continually completing a tour of North America in 2019 and played acclaimed shows at The Hollywood Bowl, All Points East, Hyde Park and Benicàssim. A celebrated handful of UK shows including headlining the prestigious Meltdown at the Royal Festival Hall at Robert Smith of The Cure’s request. This past October, the band played a sold-out tour of the UK and Europe which culminated in a triumphant show at the Roundhouse in London.
The last few years has seen the band’s legend growing, highlighted by the fact they have scored over 150 million streams of their songs worldwide. Their influence since arriving on the post-punk scorched-earth landscape four decades ago has reverberated and resonated from everyone from The Killers to REM to Foo Fighters to Bob Dylan has sung their praises.“I’m aware of the fact that people cite us an influence”, says Richard, “though I don’t often recognise it in their music. It’s gratifying of course, as it is that there’s still an interested and enthusiastic audience for us. That’s an honour.”
Many moons after Pretty In Pink (sort of) inspired that John Hughes movie, Love My Way has featured in Oscar-winning film Call Me By Your Name and The Ghost In You in sci-fi smash Stranger Things showing that The Psychedelic Furs are sounding stronger than ever. As anyone who’s seen the band lately knows, Butler remains one of the most watchable frontmen in the game.
