The Yummy Fur’s first album of new material in over 25 years is seductive and ambiguous; a fast-paced flip through scenes from art, myth, life and fantasy; a witty whole made from glittering scraps. The band’s original incarnation - fronted by singer, songwriter and guitarist John McKeown from 1992 to 1999, with past members from Franz Ferdinand and beloved by John Peel - morphed from making quick-hit cartoon-art songs to Eno and Cale-influenced creepers, populated by characters from McKeown’s life in Glasgow and the films, books and poetry that he lived a parallel life through. "Everybody Talks About The Weather" (out on Sep 24th through Upset The Rhythm) delights in using every past iteration of the band as potent collage material: a melee of sounds and ideas that exist at once, revealing themselves, then dipping back into hiding.
Recorded by the original core trio of McKeown, Brian MacDougall (guitar) and Paul Thomson (drums), Everybody Talks About The Weather comes 17 years after the band reformed for sporadic live shows and seven years after the release of their sorta-greatest hits compilation Piggy Wings (Rock Action). Ten tracks long, with nothing to spare, it is as condensed and vital as their best songs, offering a new clarity of sound that brings their ambiguities to light.
Everybody Talks About The Weather is an unpredictable album from an unpredictable group, but ending on a moment of almost uncomplicated light is maybe it's biggest surprise.
