If you know Furniture then you'll already know what this sounds like; pick up the vinyl rip (here or here) for more of the same dinky organ and lounge-y crooning, plus some more introspective pieces in the vein of It's Immaterial. Furniture were unfortunate victims of the record business, getting lost in the shuffle with the sale of Stiff Records and never regaining their momentum, despite releasing one more album, Food, Sex & Paranoia, on Arista in 1989. Their spirit lives on, however, in the contemporary San Francisco band The Music Lovers.

Thanks again for this great music, I love the musical period 1980-1986, thanks for this amazing blog ;-)
You're welcome, thanks for visiting! Those were certainly good years for music (although there was a lot of bad music then too).
Best,
Fantod
I'm agree with you Fantod, in the 80s there was a lot of crap music too...
Cheers,
elektro80s
Have you got the albums by "The Music Lovers" to download? PLEEEEASE!!!!!!!!
Oh, I have them, but it is my policy not to offer music that is still in print. I have found that an emusic subscription is the cheapest way to get legal, DRM-free mp3s by a huge variety of artists, including The Music Lovers.
