Brighton based Quartet FUR have released their exhilarating new single ‘Angel Eyes’ which combines a beautiful sense of nostalgia with a cool and fresh contemporary sound.  

Immersed in 50’s and 60’s rock’n’roll influenced melodies, FUR also use a psychedelic dream pop style in their music which is unique and allows the band to create soothing but lethal songs which will have you gripped from the first note. FUR have been tipped by many as one of the most exciting upcoming bands which is a bold statement but with tunes like ‘If You Know That I’m Lonely’ & new single ‘Angel Eyes’ they back it up with ease. Although the band hadn’t received much exposure, they still managed to nail a record deal with Nice Swan Records through some of their brilliant song writing.  

‘Angel Eyes’ is a magnificent song from start to finish, the fast tempo and bluesy guitars hit you straight away but when the lead vocals calmly slot into the song, it creates this fantastic pop melody which is so jubilant, you can’t help but smile. There’s also some really classic song-writing which reflects the bands 50’s and 60’s inspired style a lot but along with their cool modern sound they’ve executed the song impeccably. This is arguably FUR’s best release to date seeing the band perfectly execute a deadly and very memorable blend of classic rock’n’roll and modern psych pop.
