Brilliant Mind

Furniture is British new wave band active between 1979 and 1991, but were far more eclectic than you'd think, incorporating jazz, blues and post-punk sounds as well. They are noted both for their poetic storytelling and high-quality productions as for the numerous setbacks they experienced. These setbacks ultimately prevented them from making their big break, making them a big what-if of the burgeoning English new wave scene. The band's 1986 single Brilliant Mind eventually reached number 21 on the UK Singles Chart and remains their only entry on it. Writer and vocalist Jim Irvin recalled that the chorus came to him on the bus, just after registering for unemployment benefits. It became the first single of their second album The Wrong People, which became a cult classic in later years. Now, on it's 40th anniversary, we are reissuing the 12' single in it's original form. Brilliant Mind is available as a 40th anniversary limited edition on half yellow and half red colored vinyl. LISTEN: https://youtu.
