Mirror Moves is the fourth studio album by the English rock band the Psychedelic Furs, released on 6 May 1984 by Columbia Records, two years after their previous studio album, Forever Now.
The album includes the dance hit "Heartbeat" and the chart hits "Heaven" and "The Ghost in You". "Here Come Cowboys" was also released as a single and received substantial airplay on MTV.
Furs drummer Vince Ely had left the band, leaving lead vocalist Richard Butler, bassist Tim Butler and guitarist John Ashton to work as a trio. Producer Keith Forsey handled the majority of the drumming on the album, with session musician Thommy Price playing on two tracks. The cover artwork and design was a tribute to artist Barney Bubbles, who had died the previous year. He was acknowledged in the credits with the words "after Barney Bubbles".
Mirror Moves became their second album to be certified gold in the US.
In 1985, during the promotion of The Head on the Door, Robert Smith of the Cure cited Mirror Moves as one of his five favorite albums.[11]
