Future of the Left totally sound like an American rock band. I guess thats no bad thing if you are American but it always sounds a little strange when the band are from Shoreditch or wherever. Anyway, Future of the Left are an evolution of the much touted McClusky. Much like the story with Kyuss, Future of the Left have taken the heaviness of thier previous outing (Kyuss) and streamlined the ideas into a heavy but accessable pop rock formula (Queens of the Stoneage). 'Travels With Myself and Another' is not quite as tasteful as the first few Queens of the Stoneage releases but it still works well and will leave you feeling rocked yo!!! There are elements of all the big rock bands of our time. I won't list them.... You know what I'm talking about. This is balls tight rock made for the kids!!! The KIDS yo!!!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

With ‘Travels With Myself And Another’ Future Of The Left have raised the bar again
and produced a record that is both melodically brutal and uncompromising in its lyrical bite.

· Future Of The Left burst onto the UK music scene in 2007 with the
release of their critically-acclaimed debut album ‘Curses’ which was
described by NME as “a collection of tracks that are what rock ‘n’ roll
should sound like: an adventure; a reinvention of what is possible with
vocals, guitar and drums”. Such critical praise was well overdue for the
trio. ‘Curses’ was the sound of a band throwing down the gauntlet for
what rock music should sound like.
· Produced by Richard Jackson, who also worked on ‘Curses’, ‘Travels
With Myself And Another’ features recent single ‘The Hope That
House Built’ with its marching Queens Of The Stone Age-style riff and
‘Drink Nike’, which was debuted on their UK tour last year and which
also featured on the live album ‘Last Night I Saved Her From
Vampires’.
· Lead-off track ‘Arming Eritrea’ sets the tone for the album. It lulls the
listener into a false sense of security before exploding through the
speakers with a bloodthirsty roar of fuzzy bass and distorted guitar lines.
The album’s centrepiece, the synth-heavy ‘You Need Satan More Than
He Needs You’, finds Future Of The Left at their savage best, as
keyboards bounce off hypnotic drumming and funky bass-lines to create a
devilish masterpiece that looks set to captivate fans and newcomers alike.
