The Future Dead ‎– The Future Dead (LP Clear Vinyl)

The Future Dead succeeds because it never tries to convince you of its own importance. It is a record designed for hazy afternoons and bedroom listening. For fans of fuzzy, nostalgic alternative rock who prefer their melodies served with a heavy dose of shrugs and feedback, this self-titled effort is a stellar, overlooked gem of the modern lo-fi scene.

Lazy Revolution is the undisputed crown jewel of the record. The song functions as a thesis statement for the band's entire identity. Built on a lethargic riff, it slowly builds an ironic anthem around the concept of wanting change, but being far too comfortable on the couch to actually do anything about it. It features a sticky, hummable chorus that gets trapped in your head precisely because it refuses to try too hard.
