Further is the seventh studio album by The Chemical Brothers, released on June 14, 2010. The album title and release date were announced on the band's official website on March 30, 2010. All 8 tracks from the album are accompanied by corresponding films, made specifically to match them, by Adam Smith and Marcus Lyal. The main character of the films is portrayed by actress Romola Garai. The woman on the album cover is Jenny Godding, who also body doubled for the underwater portions of the music videos.
The album, along with its visuals, was released as a DVD, as an iTunes LP, and as an iTunes Pass feature in US only. As a part of the iTunes Pass program, those who purchase it will receive an unreleased track, named "Pourquoi", on June 29, 2010. (Pourquoi means 'why' in French.) The standard edition was released on CD, containing just the eight track album.
Further is their first album to not feature any guest collaborations, a common occurrence in previous albums. While this is true, Stephanie Dosen provided the vocals for "Snow", "Another World" and "K+D+B". These are guest appearances, including Theremin performances by Bruce Woolley, but they do not count as collaborations since The Chemical Brothers did not work with the artists when writing the songs. Tom[who?] also sang on certain tracks.
The album was the duo's first on Parlophone, ending fourteen years of releases on Virgin, although both labels are owned by EMI.
Although it charted in many other countries, the album was excluded from the UK charts because British chart regulations forbid prizes being used as enticements to buy albums, and all formats of Further included a competition to win an iPad.
Further was nominated for Best Electronic/Dance Album at the 2011 Grammy Awards, but lost to La Roux's self-titled debut album.
The bonus track "Don't Think" was featured in the 2010 film Black Swan, in an altered form.
The track Dissolve was featured as a playlist on the 2012 video game Lumines Electronic Symphony.Further is the seventh studio album by The Chemical Brothers, released on June 14, 2010.

They were pioneers (along with the Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, the Crystal Method, and other acts) in bringing the big beat genre to the forefront of pop culture. They released their debut album Exit Planet Dust (1995) and it eventually went on to sell over a million copies worldwide. After attracting Virgin Records, the duo achieved more widespread success with their second album Dig Your Own Hole (1997), which topped the UK charts. In the UK, they have had six No. 1 albums and 13 Top 20 singles, including two No. 1 hits.
Their name came about in 1995 after they dropped their original name of "The Dust Brothers" due to the existence of a different band with the same name. "The Chemical Brothers" refers to the duo's 1993 groundbreaking "Chemical Beats", which epitomised their genre-defining sound. In the United States, they have won six Grammy Awards including Best Rock Instrumental Performance, Best Dance Recording and Best Dance/Electronic Album of the year as recently as 2020.
