"Unfurnished Rooms" is the ninth studio album by the English synth-pop band Blancmange, released in 2017. This album marked a significant return for the band, reaching No. 40 on the UK Independent Albums Chart.
Produced by Neil Arthur, the band's frontman, and Benge, known for his work with various electronic music projects, the album showcases a blend of their electronic sound with fresh instrumentation. Arthur described the collaboration with Benge as exciting, highlighting how he had initially crafted the songs and many of the electronic elements before Benge stepped in to enhance the rhythm sections.
This release followed First Light, a collaborative album from 2017 under the name Fader, which further demonstrated Arthur's ongoing creativity and evolution as an artist. The combination of Arthur's songwriting and Benge's production skills contributed to a sound that resonates with both long-time fans and newcomers.
