Future Loves Past has been a local favorite since getting together in 2010, but 2013 could be their most important year yet: They’ve just announced a full-length album (already recorded at Flying Blanket Studios) due out this fall on Common Wall Media.
In the meantime, we’ve got a song from that album, “Grow Up Tall,” available for download here on Up on the Sun.
Future Loves Past garners a lot of comparisons to the music of the ’70s, and it earns most of them with its slinky confidence and propulsive danciness.
But the higher-than-ever production values on “Grow Up Tall” complicate that idea, for the same reason Room on Fire made it clear that the Strokes were not only the too-cool-to-care New Yorkers the press had begged for: They reveal that this band is tight–that they’re conspicuously, but not superfluously, good at their instruments.

It’s all in the service of the same ends–the sharp hooks, the dancing–but it’s coming from a place that’s not as easy to caricature as it first seemed. Which is an exciting thing to learn about a band.
Download “Grow Up Tall” here (right click > save as), and stay tuned for a split 7″ with Yellow Minute, to be celebrated with a release show at Sail Inn on July 6.
