Love From the Future

Continuing with the Neon Talent this time I'll just like to present this great post by our new and honorary members, Sydney's own, Future Love.

I’m Salmon, one third of Melbourne electro trio Future Love. Me, Nic and Scott come from an hour south east of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula. We all grew up together and graduated high school last year. We’ve basically been playing shows and writing songs for a year now and we’re hoping to release our debut pressed release in March/April.

The live electro/indie scene is massive in Melbourne at the moment, and pretty big throughout Australia, with bands like Cut/Copy, Midnight Juggernauts and Presets having massive national and international promotion it’s really given the Australian electro scene lots of life. At the moment there is a lot of cross-genre electro bands coming out of Melbourne like Pets With Pets, Terrordactyl, Emergency Emergency etc. combining post punk and really raw sounds with synths and electronic drums. There’s also a fair bit of 80’s inspired bands and producing coming out of Melbourne and Sydney like Grafton Primary, Miami horror and the Galvatrons. Theres also the whole 80’s ‘acid-house’ style of electro music that’s very new order inspired with a lot more guitar and less electro/house style drums etc – Melbourne bands like Dance with Voices and Dardanelle come to mind there. One thing that has been going off down here lately is remixing electro music by bands and anyone with a computer really – one thing that sparked it was Van She (Sydney Band) doing some amazing remix’s of Klaxons etc. It’s a pretty healthy scene with lots going on and it’s always changing and new bands are coming out of no where all the time. It’s exciting.

As for us we draw lots of influence the ‘acid-house’ style from the 80’s, such as New Order etc. But then we also listen to a great deal of more tradition indie/folk/country/rock music like Bright Eyes and I fucking love Jeff Buckley so I spose its hard to say that sort of shit doesn’t influence us.

At the moment I’ve been listening to lots of Whitey, Jeff Buckley, New Order, Dance With Voices, The Periscopes, Angus and Julia Stone, Daft Punk, Mr Oizo.

We thank Salmon for all the support and for taking the time to make this post. And as usual I can't leave you without some gifts and here they are, three tracks that the Future Love sent us and believe me it's not the last time that you'll be hearing from them.

Enjoy
