Made of Rain made a spectacular US chart debut upon its July 2020 release, entering Billboard’s “Top Current Albums” chart at #11 while also taking up residence at #3 on “Indie Albums,” and Top 5 on both the Current Rock and Alternative Album Charts. The album was met by worldwide critical praise and featured in many year-end “Best Of” roundups and reviews including Mojo, Uncut, Good Morning America, and Vive Le Rock!, which named it as its “Album of the Year.”

The Psychedelic Furs – who will play several UK shows during September and October (including London’s famed Royal Albert Hall) as part of the Made Of Rain Tour – have toured frequently in recent years, with highlights including tours of North America, South America, Europe, and the UK (the latter culminating with a triumphant sold out performance at London’s famed Roundhouse), as well as noteworthy festival appearances at Spain’s Benicàssim Festival, London’s All Points East and the O2 Wireless Festival in Hyde Park.

Indeed, recent years have only seen the band’s legend growing, evidenced by more than 150M worldwide streams of their songs and counting.
