I daydream a lot of the time about what the future will be like. Whether it will be full of all kinds of robots, flying cars, jet packs, virtual reality, or lots and lots of electro pop. This record led me to believe that at least the latter will certainly be true of times to come.
I often use record lables as a mark of quality especially if that record label happens to be headed by James Murphey, the man behind LCD Soundsystem and massively enthusiastic music lover. So, in hopes of disovering another The Rapture or YACHT I gave Juan Maclean's 'The Future Will Come' a spin to see if it could get me dancing.
It almost feels a little 80s in parts, especially some of the synth sounds and the boy/girl vocal dynamic, which makes it a decidedly good thing. A little studio polish that suggests mainstream dancefloor aspirations whilst never staying in pop mode long enough to become boring.
It might not be for everyone but if like me you enjoy leftfield dance, 80s pop, and any/all of the DFA roster then you should check this out.
