Future Babel

New Album "Cyber Sunday" Out 3/21

[Future Babel @futurebabel]

Minneapolis electronic rock duo Future Babel have been around for a while, but they’re a new name to this writer and this column - which is slightly irksome, as their sampleadelic stew is something special. FB thread #newwave pop melodies around biomechanical constructions with impressive confidence and attention to detail. The outfit possess what might be termed a 1990s imagination - there are moments when Cyber Sunday sounds like some enterprising soul attempting to build the future of US #indierock from leftover bits of Consolidated, @TVonTheRadio (who emerged in the early 2000s but only just) and @soulcoughing_. Elsewhere, the bright melodic charge of “Big Bang” recalls Brooklyn’s now defunct @parts_and_labor circa Receivers and Constant Future. There’s a lot packed into just over 20 minutes, all essential.
