First new sounds from Futuropaco in five years. Futuropaco, a.k.a. Justin Pinkerton from Oakland, California creates colorful psychedelic music -- a pan-cultural cratedigger's delight that welcomes in a wide range of elements -- from Afro-beat and post rock to Italian library music and heavy psych. The title translates to "The Glass Fortress" and is a reference to the fragility of the superpowers of the world, such as the US: "As we witnessed in the height of the pandemic and it's after effects, it doesn't take much to take down one of these entities that hide behind the facade of power and indestructibility. One tiny crack can trigger an unstoppable catastrophe," says Pinkerton of the album concept. But despite (or perhaps because of) it's underlying dark inception, Justin's new album is a terrific ride, from the first notes of earth-shaking opener "Muro Vuoto" to the mysterious and dreamy closer "Omicidio Per Soldi." Not a second is wasted on this record, every vinyl groove is packed with ideas and sounds that demand attention, whether they originate from Justin's vintage Moog synthesizers, his Turkish Saz, fuzz guitars or flute layered on top of Pinkerton's meticulously crafted, yet bone shaking drum fills. You could spend hours analyzing what's going on musically, but that's beside the point -- the nine tracks offered here are simply an invitation to surrender yourself to the head-spinning grooves and mesmerizing timbres. A truly unique psychedelic experience, and this is just volume 1!
