Description
Future Of The Left (10:00pm)
(Ex-members of Mclusky)
YouTube
"Future of the Left gets a lot out of a little, a real economy of sound. To use a dorky design metaphor, the band makes great use of the musical equivalent of white space. Sometimes there will just be bass and drums, sometimes just drums while Falkous and bassist Kelson Mathias shout in unison. Those moments of emptiness make the sharp blasts of guitar and pummeling drums in songs like "Small Bones Small Bodies" and "Real Men Hunt in Packs" all the more intense. It's tempting to describe Future of the Left as angry, but that wouldn't be accurate."
- Washington Post
"The band still starts and stops on a dime, the vocals are still layered and ambitious even when seething, the song titles still raise a challenging bar for the music to live up to ("Yin/Post -Yin", "You Need Satan More Than He Needs You"), and the low-end on the guitars still sound like angry bears. Granted, this is how both Mclusky and FOTL built the niche that drew in a loyal, fervent audience, but Travels is the sound of band who still have a lot they want to prove."
