Forever Now

Released

The Psychedelic Furs were in a slightly rougher place before the recording of their third album, with two band members suddenly quitting and drummer Vince Ely on the verge. But it was Ely’s suggestion to work with Todd Rundgren that proved to be key, with the now-quartet working with the producer and a small core of session musicians to create the shimmeringly propulsive Forever Now. Famed session singers Flo & Eddie were the further X-factor, especially their harmonies on the quirky, passionate punch of “Love My Way,” an instant new wave standard.
