BLACK FUTURES
An industrial wreckage coming your way
Describing themselves as ‘future punk’, we’re backing industrial London duo Black Futures to be one of 2018’s breakout names. “Our plans for the year? We plan to be great!” states Space. “And by great, I mean a couple of jumped-up wankers being obtuse and illusive whilst making as much noise as humanly possible. We also have loose plans for world peace...”
Priorities sorted, then. Beyond saving the world, the twosome will be flexing their musical muscles with a debut album later this year, with the Nine Inch Nails-meetsDeath From Above 1979 mash-up of recent singles Love and Karma Ya Dig!? striking a clear chord with fans who like their music gritty and their trenchcoats shiny.
“It’s gonna be walls of synths, walls of amps, walls of drums, shared hallucinations, dystopian party bangers,” says Space of what comes next. “Like all of your favourite songs rolled into one, or some shit like that.”
