FUTURE BABEL is Minneapolis-based outfit that describes their sound as “a towering collage — a hodgepodge of driving beats, spacey guitars and a stark vocal delivery of philosophical soap-boxing that blurs the line between alternative hip-hop and spoken word.”
“Not Exactly,” off FUTURE BABEL’s debut EP The Future’s Just A Head is a weird yet accessible bop centered around off-kilter, skittering beats, twinkling keys, wavy bursts of guitars and a driving groove paired with emcees spitting philosophy-inspired bars and a lysergic-feeling bridge with screeching guitars and industrial clang and clatter.
This track caught my attention because it explodes with a brash and defiant originality.
