This song is so haunting I instantly fell in love with it. And yet I clicked on the link because the band – Future History, from Toronto – included the comment “featuring zombie children”. I mean, could *any* music blogger resist that description? I think not.
Future History released their album “Loss:/Self” in April; it was recorded over a span of eight months in Montreal, various places in Ontario, and in New York City, where the band was stranded for three days in the midst of Hurricane Irene, recording outside in its ferocity.
Their other comment that caught my attention, they “sampled a whale that produced the wrong frequency, which consequently ostracized her from other whales because she didn’t communicate properly”. How distressingly sad is that? Seriously. And yet it’s such a metaphor for human society in some ways too, isn’t it.
Okay, enough being deep. Check out the video above; then go preview the album on iTunes or your favorite digital or physical store. And then buy it. You won’t be disappointed. How could you?
