Perfect Future – Perfect Future
Perfect Future have an unfortunate name when it comes to entering it on Google trying to find information about them. You either get a ton of results for Autolux or you just get a bunch of people blabbering on about their own “perfect future” when telling it to search for those words as entered. The latter is actually quite fitting when getting down to what Perfect Future are trying to convey on their debut that presents an all too realistic view of life after you grow up a bit and enter the real world. For all of those results I end up seeing when searching for this band, you really do hope that their plans do work out, however for many you just know it won’t and this album captures the sort of letdown and compromise that comes with that rather well I’d say.
The music itself is a mix of the older Midwestern styled mathy sort of emo that popped up in the 90’s, although the band currently resides in Maryland. One interesting thing I noticed on the press release was that they cited the late and great Boston act Kolya, which was sort of nice as you don’t see their name enough in my opinion. Better yet though is that it’s fitting for the sort of vibe that Perfect Future are dealing in here and that’s certainly a good thing. Perfect Future seems to be a bit less technical, however incorporate a few interesting and random acoustic sounds into their songs that give it a bit of different spin. It’s definitely enjoyable if you’re into this sort of thing.
Perfect Future – In Hopes [MP3]
The bands self-titled debut is a joint release between Count Your Lucky Stars and Strictly No Capital Letters in the UK. So depending on your locale, check out either of those to pick up the record if you like what you hear.
