It almost feels like you’re doing the opposite of growing up as you’re thrown back into golden eras past with the nostalgic new single, Grow Up, from FUR.

Brighton indie outfit FUR signals their productivity over the recent lockdown period with their swaying new single Grow Up. Channelling a timeless, classic vibe with swaying guitars and woozy vocals, it’s a track that will transport you right to the glittering days of the ‘60s in a plume of smoke and perfume. Strap yourself in for a good time with the entertaining visuals, which feature home videos from the band’s own childhood, as well as clips of family entertainment in black and white, and get ready to feel a pang for the same carefreeness that dominates the track.

Frontman and guitarist Murray divulges:

It’s actually quite an old song for us, we’ve come a long way in terms of songwriting but sometimes there’s a few songs that were maybe ahead of their time, it took a few arrangements over the last 2 or 3 years to get to this version of ‘Grow Up’ and it feels good to finally have it there for people to hear. The song is about not wanting to grow up and the worries of not enjoying later adult life, it seems fitting to have sat on it for a few years until we have matured.

The video plays on these themes too, footage of us as young children stacked against footage of us playing across the world. It kind of highlights how your uncertainties or worries you maybe had as a kid can then be completely outweighed by your life taking you to places you’d never expect.
