Psychedelic Furs' Richard Butler to Release Solo Album in '06

Richard Butler, former lead singer of the Psychedelic Furs, has announced plans to release his first solo album early next year. Butler says, "I've experienced quite a bit the last few years, both good and bad... it's changed me tremendously... these songs reflect all of it... and because of that, they're some of the most personal and important songs I've ever done." The self-titled album will be released through KOCH Records.

The Psychedelic Furs formed in 1977, broke up in 1991, and reunited in 2000, with a live album released the following year. Richard Butler's "other" band Love Spit Love released a couple albums, in 1994 and 1997.
