THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS:
From the late 1970's into the 90's, the Psychedelic Furs earned tremendous respect
from critics and fans alike for their music's mix of punk rock, poetic lyricism
and seductive rhythmic hooks. Fronted by vocalist and chief songwriter Richard
Butler, the Furs built a reputation as one of the most riveting musical forces
to come out of the early 80's post-punk, new wave era.
In their finest moments on albums, including 1981's Talk, Talk, Talk and 1984's
Mirror Moves, Butler's husky vocals and often-brooding lyrics ingeniously intertwined
with the edgy musical textures provided by brother Tim Butler on bass and John
Ashton on guitar. And in addition to a strong amount of mainstream Top 40 airplay,
the Furs remained an innovative and adventurous force in early alternative music. |
