Before hearing a band it’s always handy to get some idea of their sound.

With this east coast-based quintet, does their name offers a glimpse into their raison d’etre? Futuristic, even apocalyptic, the five piece, seemingly clad in space suits make modernistic electronic sounds, but always with a catchy, danceable beat. But with a new album on the way, we ask frontman Oliver Kass, what’s behind Future Get Down?

…

Who?

Oliver Kass, Ally Dennis, Sam Bidgood, Jeanne Laidlaw and Brian Pokora.

…

When? and Where?

Made an album in Leeds. Formed a band in Edinburgh. Scrapped the album.

…

What?

Music for rain-soaked apocalypses.

…

Why?

A question we ask ourselves on a daily basis. A form of therapy. Not always effective.
