Free Music Notes for Future Perfect
Free Music Review: Weightless, Ambiguous, Dense, Clear - The Autolux Paradox
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this band. And Specifically, I love this album. I've cycled through every song hundreds of times, and have come to a conclusion on few certain things.
1. This band takes you into their world. They're related to the term 'Space Rock' for a reason- yes, it's out of this world, but the beauty of this band is they create another dimension for us to exist in. Even live, they create a space (with white ribbon lights, tin-foil guitars, space-ship pedal boards etc.) that really removes me from the venue for the set and blows me away. The sounds are so unique, the song structure so formal but the essence of freedom and improvisation come across in thick aural landscapes. If you need a visual of this world- just check out the album cover.
2. This band is so heavy and so weightless. They really achieve the two extremes effortlessly; song to song, verse by verse and chorus by chorus. The album capsulates this in several ways, but again, after seeing the group play the songs live makes this official in my mind. They can create rushes of true raw power, filled with energy while a minute before you were floating in a dead space.
3. Ambiguity. The sounds you hear on this album may be what you perceive. You may think she's singing, he's playing guitar, thats a drum machine etc. where you're all wrong. I know this.. because I got so many things wrong! I thought Carla (drums) sang on a bunch of songs... when really Eugene (bass) takes on the majority of songs. Sorry if this info hits you hard, it certainly did me. I didn't even know the freakin bassist sang! I thought Greg Edwards (guitar) and Carla split the album vocally! Anyway, if anything, this should tell you to expect nothing from this band- and if you must, expect the unexpectable. Things are not as they seem. The guitar parts you are sure about are probably bass, vice versa and there's probably a casio synth singing the songs. Ridiculous, but I wouldn't put it past these three.
What does this say about Future Perfect? I think these things make the album so exciting and unique. They are attributes not all acts have. ESPECIALLY the ambiguity. They strive to make you think. This isn't clear cut music, but it gets across fine and is easily understandable. I think this band is an evolution of rock music in a way I could not expect. I'd also say this is not only a dimension of 'space rock' from the Failure persuasion, it also incapsulates motives and sounds from the grunge era. You can hear it clearly in Robots In The Garden, and than maybe you can recognize grunge living through this music throughout the rest of the album.
I apologize if you want a blow by blow of songs here, but there are a lot of other reviews. I am trying to display a taste of Autolux as a whole. I mean.. there are only two albums at this point. Future Perfect and Transit Transit are equals in my mind. I listen to Future Perfect more, and it probably is more relatable to me (possibly why I reviewed this album over the other), and if you're looking to being listening to Autolux, I'd start here. But don't stop here. See them play, get the other album and delve right in if you can relate to the vibe this album sends throughout the world.
