One of 2019’s finest releases was the ‘best of’ by Glasgow’s The Yummy Fur, titled Piggy Wings. We sold 150+ copies to new fans that grasped the joy brought on by Yummy Fur’s cartoon-ish take on The Fall meets The Minutemen. Another essential ingredient is the catchy groove these cheeky Scotsmen add to their sardonic humour. Catchy? The original YF rhythm section departed to form Franz Ferdinand!

We’ve been fortunate to hear YF’s first recordings in 25 years and can assure you that everything you loved about Piggy Wings is still there. Spend an evening in the Ramone household and there’s every chance Piggy Wings gets a spin.

Sure, it comes from some kind of parallel Brit Pop universe, the one where Oasis never made it out of that pub where Liam and Noel would wail “Wonderwall” to six of their mates. The Alternate Brit Pop world where Jarvis Cocker is signed by a fashion house as he’s sighted strutting down Carnaby Street, the world only ever enjoying the pulp in their orange juice.

Repeat listens reveal the likes of UK post-punkers XTC, especially in album favourites “Wanda” and “Semolina Ballerina”. Post-punk is where we have always filed Piggy Wings.
Great guitar / bass interplay with a superb chorus makes for a stunning title track and the next tune invokes the Guinea Worms “Drunk In Yr Uggs” which is kinda weird as the Guinea Worms entire existence was based around the Yummy Fur. It’s like Bizarro Brit Pop World.

For anybody familiar with Chester Brown’s oddball ‘80s comic The Yummy Fur (my collection was stolen) which featured Ed The Happy Clown and The Man Who Couldn’t Stop, The Yummy Fur (the band) continue with the surreal and far out references. See our mention of The Fall earlier.

“Unity Over Europe” would not have been this scribe’s first choice for single but we can only hope you trust us when we say the new Yummy Fur album is among 2026’s finest.
