With the long-playing album succumbing to today’s single song
downloadable world, Oliver Future's Pax Futura, due July 24, 2007, is
refreshingly anachronistic. Filled with mini-suites and recurring themes,
Oliver Future and acclaimed producer Adam Lasus have created an album
in the biggest sense of the word.
From the first winsome notes of opener 'The Many Things I Am Aware Of'
to the manic closer 'The Slow Fast' the record brims with intensity and
highlights the band’s impressive range. Songs fade into each other like
scenes from a film as frontman Noah Lit muses on topics such as the
apocalypse, politics, failed romance and natural disaster.
Adam Lasus, the production wizard behind Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's
self-titled debut, discovered Oliver Future through friend and KCRW DJ
Tricia Halloran. Upon witnessing an exhilarating show, he quickly signed
on to record the Los Angeles-via-Austin band's sophomore record. Over
the course of several months, Oliver Future and Lasus labored intensely,
creating a unique sonic wall of textures, tones and melodies. Dubbed
“Best Band in Austin” by the Austin Chronicle, Oliver Future has rapidly
made a name for itself in its adopted hometown of L.A, winning over
locals as well as influential radio DJ and music supervisor Chris Douridas.
