The Profile

The Psychedelic Furs are a British post‑punk/new wave band formed in London in 1977 by brothers Richard (vocals) and Tim Butler (bass). Emerging from the UK post‑punk scene, they scored enduring hits including Pretty in Pink, Love My Way, The Ghost in You, Heaven and Heartbreak Beat. After an initial 1977–1992 run, they reunited in 2000 and continue to perform and record.

Early albums were produced by Steve Lillywhite; Forever Now was produced by Todd Rundgren. Signature tracks highlighted in our reviews include Pretty in Pink, Love My Way, The Ghost in You and Heaven. Mirror Moves featured heavy MTV rotation, and Book of Days showcased a darker late‑’80s turn.

Five reviews chart The Psychedelic Furs from the gritty, sax-laced debut to the melodic bite of Talk Talk Talk, the polished pop craft of Forever Now, and the MTV glow of Mirror Moves. Book of Days closes the ’80s with a darker resurgence. Richard Butler’s unmistakable baritone threads it all together.
