Real Fur Announce Single Details

| On 23, Oct 2011

Real Fur will be releasing their sophomore single ‘The Fool’ as digital release on 31st October 2011.

Based in London, trio; Matt, George and Leo take their influences from a wide range of music and morph it into creating, intelligent, catchy tropical tinged indie-pop.

Following the release of their acclaimed debut single ‘Animal’ in June this year, Real Fur have taken their self-hosted Safari Funk parties on a tour of launderettes around the U.K, gained fans such as BBC Introducing, BBC 6music’s Tom Robinson, XFM’s John Kennedy and Jarvis Cocker; who was the first DJ to play ‘The Fool’. In addition, this year also saw the band play at the Drowned In Sound vs. The Recommender after party during the Great Escape Festival and host a launderette show during Camden Crawl.

Beginning on the sort of syncopated drum and bass rhythms one would expect of vintage Minutemen, ‘The Fool’ gradually blossoms into a delicate, mesmerising indie rocker. Treble-heavy guitars counter with cooed vocal refrains of “Hold me tonight,” creating something akin to musical pillow talk, though the end result is anything but soft.

Available as a digital download ‘The Fool’ will be released on 31st October 2011, with the single launch party on 25th October at the Servant Jazz Quarters.

Upcoming live dates:

25.10.11 – Servant Jazz Quarters, London | 18.11.11 – Launderette Party, Crouch End
