The Fur., an independent band from Kaohsiung, Taiwan,
released their debut album Town with a theme describing
people's growth, love and ideals.
The band, which consist of Savanna, Zero, Ren, and Wen
Wen, presents us with an album that showcases the
dream-pop tunes of the '80s, along with some slower
romantic numbers. Creating their art entirely in
English, this rare jewel of a crew beams great
international potential.
The album Town contains seven songs, telling the
emotional journey paved along the path leading the
pursuit of an ideal life. These moods are projected in
every corner of the town, using music to tell stories of
people meeting, living, and separating with each other.
The Fur.'s music is like a bike ride through the city -
easy and relaxed to feel out the pulse of daily life.
Their name "The Fur." is what they hope their music
could be for the listeners - warm, fuzzy, and
comforting. The lyrics 'seconds, minutes, hours, and
days...' from their lead single "Short Stay" tells the
passage of time and the inevitable eventual farewell.
'Their new song "Short Stay" is an A-level
masterpiece, the kind of background music I'd wished for
my dreams, the kind you find among the ranks of
Pitchfork's best singles.' said famous DJ Elvis Lin. The
music video features an original furry alien character
who comes to town to meet with friends for an annual
gathering.
Founded in 2016, The Fur. participated in major
Taiwanese independent music festivals in just two years,
and has received praise and attentions from
international music scenes. In 2018, the band completed
its first European tour, which took them from famous
showcase music festival Focus Wales, then to Amsterdam,
Berlin, and Lisbon. They were invited to perform live
during interview with Vodafone Radio, the
telecommunications leader in Portugal. Their performance
brought them on the stage of Primavera Sound, the
grandest music festival in Barcelona, ??Spain, and
bagged a total of 11 overseas performances under their
belt, gaining fans from all over Europe.
In accordance with the release of their album, The Fur.
set journey on a tour in Taiwan. Starting from hometown
Kaohsiung, they performed in Taichung, Taipei, Hsinchu
