“Made of Rain,” produced in 2020, is The Psychedelic Furs’ eighth studio album and has become the band’s second-highest charting UK Album ever, featured at the end-of-year Best Albums roundup in Mojo, Uncut, Classic Pop, ABC’s Good Morning America and Vive Le Rock.

Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

The tour has rolled this week into Los Angeles.

The band released ”Don’t Believe” the first single from the album was released first in 2020, followed by “You’ll Be Mine,” “No-One,” and “Come All Ye Faithful,” each with an official lyric video.

On March 1, 2021 the band released the official video for Made of Rain’s fifth single “Wrong Train.” It premiered exclusively on the British music website NME.com and was inspired by Richard Butler’s paintings. He starred in the video himself. Comments have been good on YouTube.
