In a world hyper-focussed on who can play the fastest, who’s the most
famous, and who’s travelled the furthest, maybe it’s time to slow down
and savour the moment. Future Backup dares to do just that, creating
gentle, thoughtful melodies on vibraphones, pad-synths, and relaxed but
precise drums. The result is not just music – it’s a mood. Radically soft
indie-jazz with an electronic twist; stripped back, yet rich with warmth,
maturity and depth. These sonic qualities are nicely reflected in the title of
their latest album, and just like the mineral, Golden is radiant and
impressive.
Future Backup combines effortless, tone-curation like Nina Sinephro with
meticulous production similar to the French band Air. Like basking in
yellow rays of sunlight after a long winter – lay back, bliss out, and let the
delicate beauty of Golden lift your spirits!
