Further is the eighth studio album by songwriter Richard Hawley. The album marks a departure for Hawley who has, to date, named all his albums after Sheffield icons or landmarks. Instead, for his new album he wanted something that would capture the intention of moving forwards, but without jettisoning his past. Optimism lies at the heart of Further, an album that was made largely in Sheffield with Hawley and his crack band, aided by co-producers Colin Elliot and Shez Sheridan.
