In a world hyper-focussed on who can play the fastest, who’s the most famous, and who’s travelled the furthest, maybe it’s time to slow down and savour the moment. Future Backup dares to do just that, creating gentle, thoughtful melodies on vibraphones, pad-synths, and relaxed but precise drums. The result is not just music – it’s a mood. Radically soft indie-jazz with an electronic twist; stripped back, yet rich with warmth, maturity and depth. These sonic qualities are nicely reflected in the title of their latest album, and just like the mineral, Golden is radiant and impressive.

Future Backup combines effortless, tone-curation like Nina Sinephro with meticulous production similar to the French band Air. Like basking in yellow rays of sunlight after a long winter – lay back, bliss out, and let the delicate beauty of Golden lift your spirits!
