FUR

FUR are not a band who like to do things by halves. Since bursting onto the scene with 2017’s viral If You Know That I’m Lonely music video, the retro visionaries have amassed 30 million plays across Spotify and YouTube, garnering support from BBC 6 Music, Radio 1’s Indie Show, and the NME to boot. With a new album release in the pipeline for later this year, we spoke to the boys about The Beatles, Brighton and how to celebrate getting a record deal.

As it was for most, 2020 was a strange year for the band. Instead, all from the comfort of lead singer Murray’s living room. “It almost felt like you could get away with recording it all yourself with minimal equipment, because there was no other option at that point”, he says. But they were always confident they could recreate their signature sound, complete with the fuzzy 60’s guitar and crooning romanticism they’re best known for.
