Three Olives Cherry (70 Proof)
Three Olives has been one of the most elusive spirits for NeuFutur to track down and request; I know breaking the fourth wall is sort of verboten, but I find it interesting to see the inner workings of different industry (and by extension, I feel that our readers do as well). Thus, much as our contact with Victory Records was seen as a “victoryâ€, our contact with Proximo Spirits provided…
BETTYE LaVETTE–A CHANGE IS GONNA COME SESSIONS AVAIL ON ITUNES 6/16

The digital-only EP for Anti- Records, available exclusively through iTunes starting June 16, revisits BETTYE’s forgotten post-Atlantic Records years as a nightclub singer, Broadway performer, and touring cast member opposite Cab Calloway in “Bubbling Brown…

Castles in Spain – Again (CD)
Castles in Spain play a style of rock that often goes toward the goth side of things. This means that songs like “My Nerves†will remind listeners of acts like Siouxsie and the Banshees as well as early Sarah McLachlan and Natalie Merchant.

Urinal Gum #6
We here at NeuFutur have had this issue of Urinal Gum floating around the office for a damn long time, and we have to first apologize to the editors of UG . This issue is from around July of 2008, so there are a few dated things here. This means that there is a fake letter written o then-senator Hillary Rodham Clinton about being the front-runner of the Democratic party,…

Casket Architects – Dance On The Death Nerve (CD)
I don’t know, for some reason I thought that Casket Architects were going to play a style of music that was not related to the hard rock meets punk blend that first assaults listeners during their opening track to “Dance on the Death Nerveâ€, “Turbine Vaccineâ€. Throwing in a shrill guitar line and a blend of elements from Bad Religion to Avenged Sevenfold to the Refused, Casket Architects are a…
Pill Hill Radio – S/T (CD)
“Halfway†is the first track that listeners will get the chance to hear on this self-titled release, and they will immediately be buffeted with an interesting bit of country rock that is not happy with staying within the boundaries of that genre. There are nods, both subtle and obvious, to alternative rock and pop, making this introduction into something that will ensure that listeners will stick around for a good…
Wunderbugg – Transgradulate (CD)
“Sick Wrong World†is one of the most interesting tracks to be heard on “Transgradulateâ€, meaning that there is a definite step taken to craft a rich foundation that later parts of the track can then work off of. When the vocals do finally enter into the equation, there is a darker, more earthy feel to “Sick Wrong World†that touches on a number of different genres and styles. This…
BIZZY BONE & B-REAL GET BIZZY ON “UNITE THE MIC” TOUR
Between them, B-Real (Cypress Hill) and Bizzy Bone (Bone Thugs-N-Harmony) have sold over 40 million records as the leaders of their respective and storied groups.

Finale – “Heat” prod. by J Dilla
The successes of J Dilla have served as inspiration and driving motivation for all Detroit artists. For Finale, who himself received a personal Dilla co-sign early in his career, it’s only fitting that the emcee has a song on his album, A Pipe Dream And A Promise, produced by the late legend. That song is appropriately titled “Heat.” Speaking about creating the song and being able to work with Dilla,…
Johnny Cash – Here Was A Man: The Ultimate Gospel Collection (CD)
I must admit, by the time that I heard Johnny Cash, ey was doing the American (cover) series of albums. Much, if not all of the music on this disc is foreign to me. It doesn’t help the case that songs like “Ring of Fire†were covered better by Social Distortion than they were originally recorded by Cash, and that eir cover of “Hurt†could not hold a candle to…
Nigerian Legend King Sunny Ade’s 2009 North American Tour
King Sunny Ade 2009 North American Tour Nigerian juju icon King Sunny Ade will give North American audiences a chance to witness contagious 40-minute grooves that have been steeped in a modern-day tradition where playing for and reacting to the audience is paramount. The truth is that King Sunny Ade is so well-loved back home, among dignitaries and business leaders, that it is quite a feat to carve out the…
Aeroplane Pageant prepares new album “Even The Kids Don’t Believe Me”
On the heels of completing their “Invisible Tour”, New York City’s indie surrealists Aeroplane Pageant prepare the release of their sophomore full-length Even The Kids Don’t Believe Me, out June 9 on Stormy Ice Records. Unable to differentiate fact from fantasy this psychedelic-pop opus finds itself somewhere caught between the cheeky playfulness of Montreal and the solid tunefulness of Grand Archives, marked by stirring guitars and groove-oriented bass lines loosely…
NeuFutur.com Introduces Sierra Hurtt
Some people are born to make music. It’s just something in the blood. Where we hear wind, they hear strings. Where we hear a passing train, they hear rhythm – the beginning of a new song. Conversations yield lyrics and melodies are plucked out of thin air. And as it often goes when someone has the gift, it may seem too easy for them to take it seriously. It is…
