01.09.11 - Deli Best of NYC 2011 /// alt folk genre

FUTURIST /// Brooklyn Based Music and Magic — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:47:00 +0000

"Futurist have some very big ideas. As much a multimedia project as 5-piece experimental folk outfit led by singer Curtis Peel. This group doesn't just write songs, as much as they construct whole movements like a folk-rock symphony. Listen to just a couple measures into "Slackjaw Pilgrims" or "Wingspan" and you'll find yourself getting pulled into their unique way of hearing the world. Like their name implies, there's nothing old about this group. Good thing foot-stomping dance grooves never go out of style."

FUTURIST /// Brooklyn Based Music and Magic — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:19:00 +0000

"In the video of their single "Antihero", Brooklyn Folk Poppers Futurist make the most convincing argument for "So You Think You Can Dance: Williamsburg" we’ve ever seen. The band released their debut album "War Is Yesterday" in June, with a party involving over 50 (fifty!) interdisciplinary artists. This video was selected to be projected in between bands at The Deli/INDMUSIC CMJ Music Marathon Shows. "
