The Psychedelic Furs

Musical Group

English rock/new-wave band from London, noted for Richard Butler's distinctive voice and the earlier presence of saxophonist Duncan Kilburn.

Early albums were produced by Steve Lillywhite; Forever Now was produced by Todd Rundgren. The band moved from raw post-punk toward a more melodic new-wave/pop sound across the 1980s.

DeBaser hosts multiple appreciative reviews of The Psychedelic Furs highlighting their transition from raw post-punk to polished new-wave pop. Critics repeatedly praise Richard Butler's distinctive voice and the band's memorable melodies. Several reviews single out Forever Now, Talk Talk Talk and Mirror Moves as key records.

For:Fans of 1980s new wave and post-punk, collectors and listeners of alternative rock.

 The substance is that here we are faced with ten pop gems, the kind most bands would commit mass murder to have all on the same album.

 The Psychedelic Furs do not miss out on atmospheric ballads with a dark mood like "All Of This And Nothing," which starts on a precious acoustic guitar loop and sax wails, then breaks in with a hypnotic and monotone rhythm that carries the track to its concluding "reprise" of the beginning.

 Fans dubbed the band's original sound the beautiful chaos, a chaos that would leave a mark on British rock and deserves to be discovered.

 It’s a pity that the rest of the album is not all at the same level, otherwise, in front of the mirror, we would have found a work of a completely different caliber.

 But it’s with "House" that The Psychedelic Furs remind everyone, critics included, who they are, teaching a big lesson: you don’t have to repeat yourself to be great.
