Furniture — The Wrong People album review

There's a jolly nice picture on the cover of this LP of two mythical God-types snogging on the sofa beside a very fetching Goblin Teasmade. You see, Furniture have got a bit of a thing about "love" and how it can be awfully tricky at times. But although the lyrics sound a mite gloomy and doomy, the music soon whisks one up into much better spirits. It is a wonderful swirling, whirling potful of different sounds — from jazz, to Duane Eddy twanging guitars, a "hep" cat boogie, a manic, discordant piano number and all kinds of assorted glockenspiels, trumpets, saxophones etc. And then to top it all there's the flugel horn — the flutescendly crooning flugel horn. From now on, no household LP should be without one. (8 out of 10)
