Title: ‘The Futures Youth’ Songs, Summer and Style
‘The Futures Youth’ EXCLUSIVE music news, cancel your plans for the summer.
Its been over two years since the release of ‘The Futures Youth’ released their debut album, ‘Nowadays: It’s too crowded’ and as the summer of 2011 comes along they have their second studio album to deliver. We got to speak with Sam Worthington, James Smith and Harry Hextall that make up ‘The Futures Youth’. We already know that the group is a real success story for unknown unsigned acts as Sam found fame and fellow band member Harry through Myspace. Their new single ‘Out for the kill’ is available from iTunes now and ‘I speak the truth when I want to’ is scheduled for the end of March, just in time for the festival season! James indicated to us that the album is more about their contribution for music and not just money driven, at Echo we totally agree with this you can see that they have incorporated their own statement style of electronic synths and bass line but add over vocals from the lead singer Sam. A track on the album we really like is ‘you only loose when you finish’ in which they collaborate with renowned female singer Katy B. But don’t be fooled the whole album is not hit club songs, their are some where we get to listen to the softer side of Sams’ voice and this makes a refreshing change the heave dub step we most commonly see. But its not just the songs that got heads turning, the album artwork is something to be admired, it has the daring of Kanye West: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy but without the nudity and numerous covers. It features the group but as you’ve never seen them before, and we will leave that as surprise until the launch date. We then got them onto the conversation for the summer, we already know they will be doing a 30 date tour up and down the country before they move onto europe in winter 2011 but what we wanted to know is if they have any plans for the summer as their tour dates a few and far between at that time. They seemed very reluctant to tell us what it was they had planned but after a bit of arm twisting and a cup of tea we got it out of them. And we can reveal here EXCLUSIVELY that it is confirmed that ‘The Futures Youth’ will be headlining at both Reading and Leeds. Will you be going? Im sure I will. We asked them how it felt to be playing at such a renowned music festival to which Harry replied ‘I couldn’t believe it, I still find it hard to get my mind round it now, but at the same time we think that our music and ourselves have come along enough to play to such big audiences’. We hope they can produce a set to rival some of the previous big headliners including ‘Daft Punk’ who in 2008 had people crowding at the main stage. One thing that we couldn’t not talk about whilst we had time with the group was their style, they are commonly snapped in the celebrity magazines as best dressed. Their smart casual look never fails to impress the masses that follow The Futures Youth, it was james that described to us why they dress the way they do, he told us that because the majority of their music is made on a computer then their is no room for error and the sound should be clean and the cleanliness is what we try emanate in their clothes. Finally I wanted to know what the future lies for them; have they started on a 3rd album?. ‘No, no third album as of yet we just want to get on the tour and then I have planned a months holiday to just relax. But after that I hope we can make another album, if the demands still their for us’ said Sam
