Future,
I’ll give you the unseen afternoon
Future,
A little spark of light flickers out of view
Then you will appear,
like a distant memory
You’re like the future’s king,
breaking away and floating alone
It seems as if you want to say something to me
If you’re gonna run around until you’re out of breath,
Then you might at well just go to sleep
Just turn off the switch
Don’t say you won’t need me,
In the future
An unending sky, a swaying cloud
You’re like the future’s king
Breaking away and floating alone
It seems like you want to say something to me
If you want to spin around at high-speed,
A carousel will do, just turn on the switch
Just turn on the switch
No one can limit,
No one can hinder such a future
Oh, such a future
This is undoubtedly my single favorite album of all time. It feels like such a perfect culmination of all the themes and ideas Fleet Foxes has been working with since 2008. It answers many of the questions found on both Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up, and represents an incredible maturation and growth in Robin Pecknold's perspective. Their other albums are certainly masterpieces, but this, in my opinion, is their magnum opus. I doubt it will be recognized as such in its time. isaiah_stuart
Cermony's Ross John Farrar experiments with synths, bass, & percussion to make music similar to that from the '80s homemade tape scene. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 30, 2023
saw Thundercat for the first time recently - truly a GOAT of live performers. this album is him in his most honest, focused, and emotional state, and it beautifully intertwines his silly artistic voice with his stories of struggle and loss. the album is short and sweet - BUT, if you want to see him and his friends jam a little longer on these ideas, definitely see him live. the dude literally practices like Coltrane and it shows. zilla
