Omens

Music Video Premiere: "Bad Air, Still Water"

Via BuzzMusic:

Filled with colorful, metaphorical brilliance, the new music video for “Bad Air, Still Water” is packed with relatable, easy to grasp, content. It captures the overall concept of the songs meaning perfectly while keeping the imagery exciting, you won’t want to take your eyes away. The 'main character’ (in this case a purple puppet), deals with life’s struggles such as being fired, getting a ticket, or being dumped, and slowly succumbs to a self-deprecating feeling of failure. The main message of “Bad Air, Still Water” is to overlook the things we can’t control in our lives and not let them take over your mind. We all strive to be who we think we need to be, rather than letting life take its course. A beautiful video to match a beautiful concept! An amazing job well done for Futurist once again!

ALL I EVER WANTED: A SUCCINCTLY CAPTIVATING REINVENTION OF PSYCH POP

If it’s been a while since you heard a track so succinctly beautiful and melodious it made you want to cry, you can give yourself a reminder of what emotively arrestive music sounds like by delving into Futurist’s latest 2019 album “Omens”.

Each of the ten singles on the album is equipped with an arsenal of authentic creative ingenuity, but the single “All I Ever Wanted” is the best introduction to their soulfully stylistic sound.

It’s not often I get viscerally excited about the commercial potential of music. But the jazzy, soft, comfortingly psychedelic progressions found in All I Ever Wanted have quite the enamoring effect.

Their unique take on Psych Pop is only possible through the talent possessed by the four NYC based artists. Through a mix of playful keys, lightly dexterous guitar progressions, and accordantly energetic percussion, the perfect platform for the magnetically quaint vocals was constructed.

You can check out Futurist’s sweetly serene latest single All I Ever Wanted by heading over to SoundCloud. Your soul will get quite the stroke if you take a chance on this endearingly mesmeric soundscape.
