ReviewAlbum review: French math-rockers Future bring beautiful noise to Hong Kong
Future’s debut album is an overwhelming aural experience – and you can catch them in Hong Kong on September 18
Horizons
Requiem Pour Un Twister
Paris-based Future, who describe themselves as cold wave and post punk, join an ever-growing list of math-rock bands to have performed in Hong Kong and China in recent years (the French trio will complete their Asian tour with a gig at Hidden Agenda in Hong Kong on September 18).
The 10-track Horizons opens with the chugging 0002, a track that swoons over a deep synth groove much like The Horrors and, like many of the tracks that follow, reveals the influences of Loveless, the early-1990s magnum opus of deafening shoegaze titans My Bloody Valentine.
Lead single Side Effects, and the brutal title track – which buries Yann Canévet’s vocals deep beneath the squall of Brice Delourmel’s guitar and Pauline La Chaceray’s glacial keyboards – share a cold industrial vibe and are sure to make for a glorious aural assault on September 18.
