Furniture - The Lovemongers
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20210128233929im_/http://bp1.blogger.com/_z9OnSxr2OHU/SFnLfoWIArI/AAAAAAAAAIU/tMtLsQcPSfE/s320/cover.jpg)
- The Lovemongers
- Throw Away the Script
- Love Your Shoes (original version; rerecorded for Stiff)
- Escape Into My Arms (original version; rerecorded for Stiff)
- What the Fog Said
- Dancing the Hard Bargain (a 1984 single & Survival compilation track)
- Bullet
- Talking Kitten
- Sang Froid
- I Can't Crack (a 1985 single)
If you know Furniture then you'll already know what this sounds like; pick up the vinyl rip (here or here) for more of the same dinky organ and lounge-y crooning, plus some more introspective pieces in the vein of It's Immaterial. Furniture were unfortunate victims of the record business, getting lost in the shuffle with the sale of Stiff Records and never regaining their momentum, despite releasing one more album, Food, Sex & Paranoia, on Arista in 1989. Their spirit lives on, however, in the contemporary San Francisco band The Music Lovers.
