NEWS
The launch of Furlined's debut album Love Comes In Canisters received something of a setback in December 2008 when Pinnacle Entertainment – which handled distribution of the album – went into administration. Six months on and the band are pleased to announce that Cadiz Digital have taken over distribution duties and the album has been re-released. (see above for download details).
Furlined have also started recording tracks for their second album. Provisionally entitled Sovereign Ring, the album will be released in March 2010. The band are currently setting up dates across the UK for Summer and Autumn 2009.

REVIEWS
"A charming and individual debut of rare depth. There is a womb-like intimacy to their sound, centred around Crossley’s engaging and darkly humorous lyrics and the delightful cello sparring." CLASH MAGAZINE May 2008
"An excellent example of modern acoustica and a charming album of tasteful radio-friendly country-folk. The band embrace the laid-back easy rock that has made stars of Damien Rice and James Blunt. This could well be 2008’s Back To Bedlam" ROCK 'N' REEL May/June 2008
"Morrissey meets Americana – superb songs with an irresistible English wit. " TOTAL GUITAR March 2008
"Furlined have woven their Smiths and Americana influences into an album of mid-tempo reflections and disarming ballads. Beguiling cello, warm riffs, wistful vocals and a catchy top line. Class." MUSICIAN July 2008
"These songs are stark but appealing constructions, full of sharp observation and understated, mordant wit. The effect of the guitarist’s rich, warm vocals and the swoon of the cello accompaniment is to lure the listener into guilty complicity."
VENUE August 2008

BIOGRAPHY
Potent melodies and a large dose of sardonic wit lie at the heart of Furlined, a Bristol-based duo formed in January 2004 after a chance encounter at an ante-natal group.
Convinced that the lush strains of Tegan Thomas’s cello would prove an ideal complement for his songs, vocalist and guitarist Neil Crossley invited the former National Youth Orchestra player to a recording session. The results were impressive and the duo were soon playing every gig they could get in an effort to hone their distinctive sound. Five years on and Furlined's sound has been significantly enhanced by the addition of bassist Graham Dalzell and drummer Greg White. In 2008 the band released their debut album Love Comes In Canisters, which was produced and engineered by Nigel Pulsford, former guitarist with Bush. The follow-up album Sovereign Ring is scheduled for release in March 2010.
“Lyrically, we tend to focus on the quirks of British culture,” says Neil, “elevating and celebrating the ridiculousness of the everyday. And the whole stripped-down, sparsity of our sound seems to fit what we’re trying to achieve.”
