'90s Rock Band Announces First New Album in 28 Years
One indie rock band active throughout the 1990s is joining the ongoing trend of rock group revivals and releasing their first new album in 28 years. The Scottish band the Yummy Fur, which was formed in 1992 and stayed together until their disbandment in 1999, is coming back in a major way with a new EP.
The band hasn't released new music in any form since 1998, but the Yummy Fur just revealed the exciting news of their upcoming album called Everybody Talks About The Weather. The new EP will be released on Sept. 25 through Upset The Rhythm.
Everybody Talks About The Weather was recorded by original band members John McKeown, Paul Thomson, and Brian MacDougall, and the album will be released through Upset The Rhythm.
The first single off the album, "Unity Over Europe," is already out. The record will have a tracklist of 10 songs, with others like "King Of Nothing," "Blue Sunshine," and the title track, as reported by Stereogum.
"'Unity Over Europe' was the first song we came up with when we started thinking about putting some new songs into the set to escape the end-of-the-pier vibe of just performing the hits," the band said in a statement about the first track. "It's conceived as a two-act play with three main characters: Diana, Unity and Nancy, the Mitford Sisters."
The band explained, "Act One finds them trapped in a flat two-dimensional Francis Bacon triptych spinning in space-time much like the excellent villains in Superman 2. In the second act Unity is placed in the nose cone of the V2 rocket and fired from Peenemünde into London, a punishment in homage to the final death parabola of Pynchon's Rainbow."
Along with the new album, the Yummy Fur also announced a U.K. tour. It will consist of seven shows in cities that include London, Oxford, Exeter, Bristol, Brighton, Norwich, and Manchester.

The last album the Yummy Fur released was 1998's Sexy World, the follow-up to their debut album Night Club, which came out in 1996. They also have a couple of compilation albums and the EP Male Shadow at Three O'Clock, the last of which also came out in 1998.
After the group disbanded, the members went on to work on several interesting projects. Most notably, former Yummy Fur members Alex Kapranos and Thomson went on to found the popular band Franz Ferdinand, while McKeown is part of the band 1990s.
