Richard Hawley's eighth album is his first not to be associated with some geographical entity in his Muse-like town of Sheffield.
While 2012's Standing at the Sky's Edge was a sharp turn toward hard-rocking psychedelia (that ended up inspiring a stage musical), 2015's Hollow Meadows returned to the root sounds he explored on early records such as Lowedges.
In 2018, he delivered a collection of songs that made up most of the score and soundtrack for the hit film Funny Cow and netted a solid single in "I Still Want You" with Corrine Bailey Rae.
While Further opens with the guitar-feedback squall of "Off My Mind," which splits its time between Heliocentric-era Paul Weller and Jethro Tull's "Locomotive Breath," it's almost an outlier on this short 36-minute set, though the foreboding paranoid psychedelia of "Alone" and the snarling folk tale of homecoming, betrayal, and villainy in "Galley Girl" follow closely.
