Ex-poets release genre-defying debut album 'Too Much Future': Listen
The Los Angeles based multi-instrumental duo invite listeners on a curious journey of exploring the abstract on their experimental, genre-bending debut 'Too Much Future'.
Los Angeles by-way-of New York-based duo Ex-poets launch their debut album 'Too Much Future' Friday via Text Me Records.
'Too Much Future' might come across as an easy-listening album, what with its laid-back tempo and moody, contemplative melodies, but half-way through the off-kilter jazz influenced opening track 'Our Homes', it's instantly clear that there's something much deeper at play here.
Sonically the duo slip in-and-out of different planes, one moment savoring slick alt-R&B intimacies as displayed on 'Tracks,' and the next they’re tumbling through erratic vocalizations and electronica in the sing-speak, psych-noodling of 'Animales.'
