THE FURNITURE

At every turn, KL-based band Furniture attempts to strike an elusive balance between bold invention and comforting familiarity in its music. The search for this very balance set the band on its way to constructing its sophomore album They Made Me Out Of Dreams You’ve Forgotten. Five years of writing, rehearsing and road-testing sees the band diverging from the atmospheric post-rock/shoegaze sound of its debut Twilight Chases The Sun, focussing instead on exploring conventional song structures as a catalyst for invention. The resulting output showcases new music that is more rhythmically and vocally driven while still marrying the epic and sweeping foundation the band has built on their debut, creating a sound that is uniquely Furniture. The new album makes bold jumps across a diverse sonic palette, ranging from the fist-in-the-air indie rock of False Start and Vacancies to the luscious string-driven balladry of Jane Behind the Glass and even arriving at a touch of uncharacteristic soul on Lagu Chenta (Impenetrably Yours). It is an outcome that was every bit intended as it was natural, given the band’s diverse influences, adventurous approach and disregard for genre conventions. Having played many major local and regional music festivals such as KLue Urbanscapes, Baybeats, Rock the World, plus Singapore and Thailand tours, the band is excited to sink its collective teeth into live shows and to present these fresh cuts for both existing fans and new fans alike.
