Futureslum - Pretty Flowers in the Garden
The ground vibrates as clumps of earth disintegrate upon impact. Futureslum is digging something up... A rhythmic unearthing process, like a dog scattering loose dirt at full velocity, then stopping to bask and pant with the new found depth. Back at it.... burying grooves toady, big ones. Pretty Flowers in the Garden is filled with prismatic intensity. A rainbow of dirt and debris being tossed in the air with precise cadence. Like aulētēs playing the pipes for oarsmen to glide with skilled ease.
Pretty Flowers in the Garden does not have tracks, only grandiose raw beats. A sonic collage formed from coarse sedimentary elements. All so natural, the consciousness absorbs these sounds like water on a hot day. In between these grooves rest the most subtle energy. Noise, drone, sounds from the mechanical processes all life exudes. When combined with rhythms, a real moment is described. Minutes combining to make an hour, then days, years, entire lives... Pretty Flowers in the Garden is a soundtrack to all of our lives, filled with dance like energy and drone like melancholy. A beautiful composition not only deserving of multiple listens but actually bestowing the desire to continue playing.
Released on Already Dead Tapes and Records in an edition of one hundred. This is the second time Futureslum has graced Already Dead. The first was in 2016 with the sold out cassette titled Crushed Flowers in Skeletal Hands. The newest release finding more moments of introspective respite, while the first seems to burn all the way through. There is not much information out there on Futureslum. Looks like Ryan did a nice write up on Cassette Gods a few days back. One thing to note, out of one hundred editions, there is only one remaining on Already Dead....
