Fur drop the new video for, Him & Her
The anticipation for a Fur music video is always palpable, not least because the band seem to roll them out at such a rapid pace. Edward Zorab, the band’s long-term video director, ensures quantity over quality isn’t ever the case, however. And yes, he’s done it again. You’ll have heard the sumptuous Him & Her, […]
BAND OF THE WEEK: HONKIES
If you venture south of the river, you’ll hear talk of a band called Honkies, who are spoken about with a mass sense of pride and reverement. Even in the South London scene’s fruitful environment, their unbalanced blend of country and western speaks for itself. Last week, they released their debut EP, Hold Your Horses/It’s […]
Listen to the new track from Fur, Him & Her
Another whimsical love song from the Fur boys, you say? Oh, go on then! Serving as a second snippet from their upcoming, eponymous debut EP, released 14th Feb (the big old softies), Him & Her holds the classic Fur traits; wry lyricism, a nostalgic sentiment and a tinkling backdrop that makes you feel all gooey […]
BAND OF THE WEEK: HAZE
The sheer wealth of bands that are roaming out of Bristol now is no joke, my friends. We’re blessed with an abundance of wonky characters, rich in dissonance and plentiful in humour. Haze are part of the fold. Playful and buttoned-down, their aim to achieve a perfect level of controlled chaos has morphed into a […]

BAND OF THE WEEK: FONTAINES D.C
‘Too Real’ is blasting from the office radio, having been spun yet again on Steve Lamacq’s BBC6 music show. Vocalist Grian Chatten intones, ‘as it stands, I’m about ta make a lotta money’ in a thick, Irish brogue that drips in charisma. Spartan in their dedication to authenticity, Fontaines D.C come from the ‘back-arse of […]
Watch Fur’s charming new video for Angel Eyes
Wholesome content is the theme for Autumn 2018. It’s the next frontier in Internet culture. It’s a reminder that there’s some semblance of good in the world. It’s fuelled by lush landscapes, cute animals and an undying correspondence with the concept of love. It’s also the only way to describe Fur’s music video for their […]
