‘Until I Figure It Out’ - the debut album from Furs out now on all platforms.
Francis' son Furs’ debut album 'Until I Figure It Out' is out now on all streaming platforms.
After receiving support from BBC introducing on various singles and his first Radio 1 play with ‘It Feels Right’, Furs decided it was finally the right time to bring out a full length project.
A long time in the making, having dabbled with different genres/styles from a young age, Furs is really beginning to hone in on his sound creating an ever developing musical identity.
All tracks written, produced and mixed by Furs. Furs would like to thank Andy Brook for mastering and Roger Reid (his partner from side project ‘Searching for Sergio’) for his contributions on the keys.”
