I don't want to like this record even though I know I absolutely bloody will! It's basically a merging of future kosmische and whooshing astral ambience topped with an ethereal dreampop coating and is produced by 2-3 ladies from Greenpoint in NYC. They have a similar musical outlook in parts to the wonderful Laurel Halo in as much that they combine transcendental and beautifully flowing synthscapes with soft gliding vocal murmurings to create sweeping, richly detailed and somnolent music that is thoroughly empyrean and seductive. I'd say fans of Grouper will be quite taken with this gorgeous record, a modern electronic mini-masterpiece of startling power and grace - all-in-all a real bewitching and deeply cosmic concoction!! I know it's the price of an album but, honestly, it's worth EVERY penny. Holy Mountain should be extra proud of this baby.
Future Shuttle is a Greenpoint, NYC-based duo (sometimes trio) comprised of Jessa Farkas and Camilla Padgitt- Coles. Prior to the group's early 2009 conception, the pair studied electronic music at Oberlin College alongside their friends in Blondes and Teengirl Fantasy. Blondes member Sam Haar also produced the Water's Edge EP, the group's first officially released recording. In Future Shuttle's beautifully dense brew of psychedelic reprogramming, Tangerine Dream meets the KLF at the UFO Club, and their three-track debut layers distant chants, drones and throbbing, time-frozen strings on top of each other, swelling gradually to a pining, beautifully textured crescendo. As Visitation Rites put it recently: "Discover their mile-long pillow-scapes in higher resolution, revealing an attention to texture and dynamic variation that can only come from losing track of time inside the studio, trapped inside your own spell."
