Book of Days by The Psychedelic Furs
Book of Days is an album by The Psychedelic Furs, released in 1989. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 4 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “House”, on 3 lists with a best position of #46.
Book of Days, the Psychedelic Furs' sixth album, came out on Columbia in October 1989, with David M. Allen producing, and it finds the London band in a darker, moodier frame of mind. Richard Butler's smoky rasp and his brother Tim's bass anchor a record full of murky, droning guitars and brooding atmosphere that nods back to the post-punk scene that spawned them.
The singles did the heavy lifting: "House" went all the way to number one on the Modern Rock chart, while "Should God Forget" reached number 8 there. The album itself stalled at number 74 in Britain and 138 in the States, and "House" also scraped into the UK singles chart at number 90.
