Brighton four-piece FUR have announced their debut album, When You Walk Away, which arrives November 5 via Boy Pablo’s 777 Music. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘When You Walk Away Pt I’. Watch its music video and find the record’s cover artwork and tracklist below.
The band’s Will Murray shared the following statement about the title track and its connection to the album:
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.
