The Psychedelic Furs are an English rock band founded in London in February 1977. Led by singer Richard Butler and his brother Tim Butler on bass guitar, the Psychedelic Furs are one of the many acts spawned from the British post-punk scene. Their music went through several phases, from an initially austere art rock sound, later touching on new wave and hard rock.

The band scored several hits in their early career, but were launched to international attention in 1986 when the film director John Hughes used their song “Pretty in Pink” for his movie of the same name. The band went on hiatus after they finished touring in 1992, but later regrouped in 2000 and continue to perform around the world.

Mirror Moves is the fourth studio album by the English rock band The Psychedelic Furs, recorded and released in 1984. Vince Ely had left the group, leaving three original Furs and Keith Forsey taking on production and drumming. The album included the dance hit “Heartbeat” and the minor hits “Heaven” and “The Ghost in You”. Another track from the album, “Here Come Cowboys”, was released as a single, but did not chart. However, the band made a video for it which received some airplay on the then, very new and popular MTV network.

Despite warm sales and reviews, it was another three years before the band re-formed for another album.
