    It contains at least one additional near-classic. But it falls into a type of rut that only long-lived bands can travel: Its primary purpose seems to be justifying its existence with an almost obsessive show of confidence. Which is a fancy way of saying it tries a bit too hard for its good.

    Taking its name from a death-themed poem, Made of Rain is a welcome return to the Furs’ classic blend of aggression, tender melody and brooding ambience. But it’s darker than they’ve been before.

The Psych Furs are not only back after mumble-mumble years, they've kept the good and added more good. In a world where some bands come back just to coast, The Butler Brothers are in the rock club one minute, in the jungle the next. Richard B. sings with extra passion, especially in his higher register, like only a day or two has passed since he last took the mic, and guitarist Rich Good is the master of atmosphere on this one - guitars weave into the bedrock one minute, slice and shine a moment later. A newly-shown penchant for syncopation, dynamic range expansion, and density of sound open a whole new artistic level for the band, floating like butterflies and stinging like bees. Hell, it took two days to get past the third song, the soul documentary that is "You'll Be Mine". The eventual progression to the rest of the set revealed even more spellbinding tracks that were worth waiting for. Headphone listens are rewarded, but this would sound great through nearly any system you have. How refreshing to see a band with such a history refusing to rest on it.… Full Review »
