The Yummy Fur have shared details of their first album in 27 years, titled Everybody Talks About The Weather.
Spanning 10 tracks, the LP was recorded by the original core trio of songwriter and vocalist John McKeown, guitarist Brian MacDougall and drummer Paul Thomson. It comes 17 years after the band reformed for occasional live shows, and seven years after the release of the retrospective compilation Piggy Wings.
The album is led by single ‘Unity Over Europe’, which you can watch a video for below.
Speaking about the track, McKeown said: “‘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. It’s conceived as a two-act play with three main characters: Diana, Unity and Nancy, the Mitford Sisters.
“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.”
Upset The Rhythm will release Everybody Talks About The Weather on 24 September 2026.
