The album, produced by Theo Verney and mixed by Grammy winning engineer Caesar Edmunds (Queens of the Stone Age, Foals, St. Vincent), will be out on November 5th via 777 MUSIC. Pre-order your copy here.
The band’s journey to this point has been unconventional to say the least but whether you’ve been waiting for this album since FUR’s first breakthrough single or this is the first time you’ve ever heard of them- you are in for a treat. The record is 11 tracks of terrifically crafted guitar pop that references decades of classics for a new generation.
Speaking about the title track and its connection to the album, frontman Will Murray said: "When You Walk Away Pt I is a hopeful yet reflective statement that opens the album. Drawn from the common axiom ‘when you walk away, don’t turn/look back’ it acts as a personal manifesto that looks to punctuate and frame the themes present on the album. The album deals with the personal and shared experiences we have during the difficult post-coming of age period in our lives, with each song being a snapshot/postcard searching for meaning and trying to make sense of these experiences."
"Post-coming of age is a dizzying period of intense change and movement, both internal and external, in which you try to find your place in the world whilst finding yourself within. You may have to walk away from home, familiarity, innocence as well as jobs, relationships and situations that are no good for you while in turn friends and love’s may walk away from you. As someone with a penchant for standing outside of time and dwelling on the past, the songs act as a reminder to be more present and spend less time looking over my shoulder."
